"Get ready for a blockbuster! UFC legend Conor McGregor is set to face WWE star Logan Paul in a high-stakes boxing match in India—an electrifying showdown fans won’t want to miss!"
Conor McGregor, the UFC and MMA celebrity, has announced that he has consented to battle Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. McGregor, a former two-weight UFC champion, hasn’t competed since a devastating leg injury during his TKO loss to Dustin Poirier in 2021.
He was originally set to fight Michael Chandler at UFC 303 in June but withdrew due to a foot injury.
On Tuesday, McGregor took to X (formerly Twitter) to share that he is in discussions with the Ambani family to make the event a reality. He also hinted at a return to the UFC after this boxing bout.
"The speculation about a fight with [Ilia] Topuria is untrue." I have initial agreements with the Ambani family to compete against Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have consented. "McGregor stated, 'I will pursue my comeback to the Octagon.'
This match could mark McGregor’s comeback after two consecutive losses to Poirier. However, his career remains clouded by ongoing legal issues, including a civil case that resulted in significant financial damages.
Conor McGregor's UFC Career
The 36-year-old McGregor, a former UFC Featherweight and Lightweight Champion with a professional MMA record of 22 victories and 6 defeats, was last observed in the caged octagon in July 2021, suffering a loss to Dustin Poirier.
Since that time, there have been speculations regarding his retirement from MMA, which McGregor has consistently refuted. Some reports indicate that McGregor is planning a UFC return in 2025.
Meanwhile, Logan Paul, known for his crossover success in boxing and WWE, sees this as a career-defining fight. With past matchups against Floyd Mayweather and a victory over Dillon Danis, Paul brings significant star power to the table.
As the combat sports world buzzes with anticipation, fans await further confirmation on whether India will host this monumental event. A McGregor vs. Paul bout promises to deliver fireworks and could become one of the most talked-about events in combat sports history.
