Logan Paul stirred excitement among fans with a concise message on social media following Conor McGregor’s announcement regarding their potential boxing match.
Earlier today, McGregor took to X to declare that he has consented to face Logan Paul in a boxing ring next year, revealing that ‘preliminary agreements’ for the bout are underway. Sources from Bloody Elbow have also confirmed that discussions between Paul’s team and McGregor are indeed serious.
The fight, which is set to be sponsored by the affluent Ambani family, will take place in India. In response to the buzz surrounding the match, Paul shared a very brief update on Instagram, keeping fans in suspense throughout the day.
Conor McGregor announces he has agreed to Logan Paul fight
Rumors circulated yesterday in the MMA community suggesting that McGregor’s return to the octagon could be against featherweight champion Ilia Topuria. This speculation arose after Dana White mentioned at Saturday’s UFC Tampa press conference that he was initiating talks about a potentially shocking fight in 2025.
However, McGregor quickly dismissed claims that he was negotiating a bout with Topuria for next year. Instead, he revealed that he has entered into ‘preliminary agreements’ to fight Logan Paul in his first professional boxing match since going up against Floyd Mayweather in 2017.
In a post on X that has gathered over 3 million views, McGregor stated, “The rumors of a bout with Topuria are false. I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed. I will then seek my return to the Octagon.”
Logan Paul posts for the first time since Conor McGregor’s fight agreement
When McGregor initially tweeted, there was considerable speculation among fans that he might have been referring to Logan’s younger brother, Jake Paul, who is generally viewed as a serious boxer. Logan secured a victory against Danis last year in a somewhat absurd Misfits Boxing match and had never before won any of his three prior bouts.
Contrary to earlier assumptions, genuine discussions about the fight are in motion, and it will be WWE star Logan—who is notably the larger brother—taking part. Paul provided a brief update to fans this evening, sharing a photo of himself alongside McGregor and subsequently reposting McGregor’s tweet.
He concluded his post with a pair of eye emojis, hinting that there may indeed be validity to the talks, or at least expressing his intrigue regarding the discussion.
