YouTube-turned-boxer Jake Paul has weighed in on the rumored boxing exhibition between his brother Logan Paul and UFC legend Conor McGregor.
Shortly after McGregor announced an upcoming bout against Logan on Tuesday, Jake took to X and predicted a decisive win for Logan.
The fight, which is supposedly set to take place in India, was announced by McGregor on his personal account on X, sparking widespread buzz in the combat sports world.
Jake Paul didn’t hold back, labeling McGregor as “washed” and asserting that Logan could win by “however he wants.”
Now it all makes sense why Conor Mcgregor & his management team have been desperately trying to get MVP to negotiate for a fight between us.

As we told them them privately & I’m now saying it publicly…the only way we’re willing to explore me vs Conor in a pro boxing / mma fight…
“Conor is washed. Needs the Pauls. Logan by however he wants,” Jake wrote.
Jake Paul also discussed the reasons behind McGregor's decision to take a fight against his brother Long in India, detailing what has going on behind the scenes between the UFC fighter and the Paul family.
"Now it all makes sense why Conor Mcgregor & his management team have been desperately trying to get MVP to negotiate for a fight between us," Jake wrote.
Jake also ruled out facing McGregor himself unless UFC President Dana White gives the fight the green light considering McGregor is under contract with the promotion while Jake is under contract with rival a rival promo in the PFL.
"As we told them privately and I’m now saying it publicly," Jake wrote, "the only way we’re 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."
Logan Paul, who has mostly focused on his WWE career recently with a few boxing fights to spare, has not publicly commented on the announcement.
McGregor has not competed in the boxing ring since his high-profile match against Floyd Mayweather in 2017 but appears eager to test himself against the younger Paul brother.
