JAKE PAUL is reportedly on course to pip brother Logan to a grudge match with UFC superstar Conor McGregor. McGregor revealed earlier this month that he's accepted a shock offer to face Logan in an exhibition boxing match in India next year. It was later revealed by reporter Ariel Helwani that preliminary talks over the bout - which could come together thanks to Indian billionaire Anant Ambani - have taken place but both the UFC and the WWE have yet to be approached.

Ambani, however, initially wanted Jake to be the man standing across from McGregor in the crossover clash. And according to a sensational report, he could very well get his wish. ESPN boxing correspondent Salvador Rodriguez claims a grudge match between Jake and McGregor is now "on the table" for mid-2025.

He wrote on X: "Sources: Jake Paul vs Conor McGregor on the table for July, August or September 2025 in India.". The sensational claim comes just days after Jake revealed he'd be making a "big announcement in January". A fight between Jake and McGregor has been brewing for the best part of four years.
