After months of challenges from YouTube boxer Jake Paul, the “Notorious” Conor McGregor has finally given his long-awaited answer on whether they might have a fight.
Jake Paul faced a number of opponents throughout his budding boxing career.
The controversial YouTuber has notably put on the gloves against former NBA star Nate Robinson as well as professional fighter Tyron Woodley, while his brother Jake has faced UFC veteran Ben Askrenn and even against the undefeated champion Floyd Mayweather.
However, it’s now clear that his next goal is none other than to take on UFC star Conor McGregor, and he won’t back down until he gets a “yes” from him.
Jake Paul has made many calls to fight against Conor McGregor.
And after many unanswered calls, it looks like McGregor has finally answered the influencer through a recent interview with Mirror Fighting.
“Who knows ?” said McGregor. “Never say never. I didn’t see the fight against Woodley. He only made a few thousand purchases. I saw it online. I didn’t hear Dana’s criticism. I don’t pay attention to any of that.” he said before repeating.
“Never say never. If he continues to compete, who knows?
