Jake Paul has issued a one-word response to suggestions he could beat his brother Logan in a fight with Conor McGregor in India.
UFC legend McGregor recently claimed he will face Logan Paul at a boxing exhibition in India and dismissed suggestions he was ready to fight Georgian-Spanish fighter Ilia Topuria.
However, it was subsequently claimed that the proposed fight between McGregor and Logan Paul is not yet done.
Journalist Ariel Helwani suggested that the Ambani family’s main target for McGregor’s opponent was, in fact, Logan’s brother Jake.
McGregor is in line to return to the Octagon after not fighting since his successive losses to Dustin Poirier in 2021.
The identity of his opponent is unclear and Jake Paul has already given his verdict on the situation.

Journalist Ariel Helwani later suggested that the Ambani family’s preferred opponent for McGregor is Jake Paul, rather than Logan.
Speaking on The Boys In the Back podcast, Helwani said: “My understanding is that the first option is that we want Jake Paul.” We want to be in the Jake Paul business, we want a fight with Jake Paul here in India.
