Rumors of a possible showdown between Jake Paul and Conor McGregor have rocked the boxing world. After McGregor announced a preliminary agreement to face Logan Paul, reports emerged suggesting that Jake was the true target of the Ambani family.
āThe rumors of a bout with UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria are false,ā McGregor wrote. āI am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed. I will then seek my return to the Octagon.ā
However, things have taken an unexpected turn. According to an ESPN KnockOut report, Salvador Rodriguez tweeted about a possible change in plans, stating: āJake Paul vs. Conor McGregor on the table for July, August, or September 2025 in Indiaā¦ā
What Did Jake Paul Say About the Fight Against McGregor?
Jake Paul, aware of the growing speculation, broke his silence with a cryptic message on his X account: āShhh.ā This followed an earlier statement where the young boxer made it clear that he would only consider a fight with McGregor if the UFC and Dana White were directly involved in the negotiations.
āNow it all makes sense why Conor McGregor and his management team have been desperately trying to get MVP to negotiate for a fight between us,ā Paul wrote in a previous tweet. āAs we told them privately & Iām now saying it publiclyā¦ The only way weāre willing to explore me vs. Conor in a pro boxing/MMA fight is if Dana White/UFC are at the table directly or make it clear they are ok with discussions. Conor is washed. Needs the Pauls. Logan by however he wants.ā
