Jake Paul is set to take on MMA star Conor McGregor in 2025, beating his brother, Logan, to the fight. The YouTube star-turned-boxer is set to meet the Irishman in July, August or September 2025 in India, per ESPN. It had been slated Logan would be the brother to take on McGregor previously.
Earlier this month, former two-division UFC champion McGregor revealed that he was in talks to fight Jake's older brother. The 36-year-old denied reports of a fight with UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria, and instead confirmed there was an agreement for a boxing exhibition.
McGregor said: "The rumours of a bout with Topuria are false. I 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.". Logan did not officially comment on the fight but shared a poster depicting himself and McGregor with a grab of the Irishman's tweet and the eyes emoji. Now it appears that Jake has beaten him to the jump.
However, Logan now appears to be at the front and centre of WWE's plans when they move to Netflix next year. 'The Maverick' is to make his return to sports entertainment on January 6 for Monday Night Raw. Jake most recently defeated Mike Tyson in a controversial bout but has a track record of taking on mixed martial artists in the ring. The Problem Child has previously defeated Nate Diaz, Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva and Mike Perry.
