Jake Paul could fight a major UFC star in 2025

summation

  • Jake Paul is reportedly preparing for a fight with Conor McGregor in 2025.

  • The fight is rumored to be held in India in July, August and September.

  • McGregor previously revealed that he was in negotiations to fight Jake's older brother, Logan.

Controversial YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul is reportedly preparing to face UFC star Conor McGregor in 2025. Paul recently faced boxing legend Mike Tyson at the massive Netflix event, with the influencer defeating the 58-year-old Tyson by unanimous decision. Now it looks like the star is eyeing a big boxing match in the New Year against McGregor, who is rumored to be Paul's next opponent.

The fight between Tyson and Paul was incredibly controversial, mainly because it exceeded the legendary boxer's age. At 58 years old, Mike Tyson is over 30 years older than Jake Paul. Many hoped that Tyson's experience and extensive boxing knowledge would help him pull off a victory over the 27-year-old, but the massive age gap proved to be too much for the once legendary boxer. With another win on Paul's record, it looks like the YouTuber will have another combat sports legend in his sights in the new year.

2025 Jake Paul vs Conor McGregor Rumors

There are plenty of boxers who would like to 'end' Jake Paul's career, but ESPN's Salvador Rodriguez reports that UFC fighter Conor McGregor could be the next man to face Jake Paul (as spotted by Dexerto). According to Rodriguez, Paul vs. McGregor is “on the table” for 2025, specifically in July, August or September. The journalist also claims that the boxing match will be held in India. Details have not yet been confirmed, and it is currently unknown whether this match will be an exhibition match or a professional match.

After a rather lackluster fight with Mike Tyson, many rumors centered around Paul's next opponent. Tommy Fury recently spoke about a rematch with Jake Paul, saying a rematch is possible but he wants to talk about “serious numbers” first. Fury was seen as Paul's first real challenge in the boxing world and ultimately handed the controversial figure his first and only defeat.

Rodriguez's reports of a McGregor and Paul fight come just days after the UFC star announced on social media that he had reached a “preliminary agreement” to face Jake Paul's brother Logan in an exhibition match in India. McGregor said he agreed to the fight, but it appears Jake could have been involved in the negotiations on his brother's behalf.

McGregor also mentioned that he would return to the Octagon after his boxing match. The UFC star was last seen in the Octagon in 2021, when he suffered his sixth professional loss as an MMA fighter and his second loss to fellow lightweight Dustin Poirier. After being a rival coach on The Ultimate Fighter, McGregor was scheduled to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303 in June, but the fight was canceled after McGregor suffered a broken toe.
