Tensions between Jake and Logan Paul, amid recent reports linking them both with a fight against Conor McGregor, have been temporarily put on hold for Christmas.
It's been a wild week for the Paul brothers as they prepare for the Christmas holidays. After Logan was initially linked to fight talks with UFC superstar Conor McGregor, the internet nearly broke down earlier this week after reports surfaced that Jake was also in talks for a boxing match with the former UFC champion.
While details surrounding the firestorm fight talks remain unclear, McGregor is looking forward to a return to combat sports in India for a boxing fight with one of Paul's brothers. McGregor has not fought since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.
The narrative that Jake and Logan were trying to steal the McGregor fight from the other was further fueled after a series of cryptic social media posts from all parties involved. Despite the confusion surrounding the fight talks with brothers Paul and McGregor, that didn't stop the brothers from performing some stunts while with family for Christmas.

In a joint Instagram post, Jake and Logan are seen sliding across icy terrain in Ohio while spending time with family over Christmas.
“We do our own stunts with no success lol,” Jake posted on Tuesday. “So grateful for family and fun this Christmas. Never grow up children. That's the key. I love you all from the Pauls.”
Jake and Logan were linked to a similar tense scenario last year during an episode of Logan's IMPAULSIVE podcast. During episode 390, Jake and Logan got into a heated argument about their boxing careers and the perception that Jake had lost a fight to Logan's Nate Diaz.
Cooler heads ultimately prevailed and Jake defeated Diaz in the ring by unanimous decision. Logan returned to the ring last year against former Bellator fighter Dillon Danis and earned a disqualification victory.
A rematch between Jake Paul and Diaz has also been rumored after Diaz begged Jake to “sign the contract” in a recent social media post.
UFC CEO Dana White teased a “surprise” announcement during the UFC Tampa post-fight press conference, which many speculated had to do with McGregor and the Paul brothers. But at the time of writing, nothing has been formally announced regarding a fight, although a suggested time frame has been reported for the summer of 2025.

Jake recently defeated heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson in the ring just months ago for his fifth straight win. A rematch with Tommy Fury, who handed Jake his first career defeat last year, is also being suggested as a possible next fight for the polarizing boxer.
The new year could include a lot of wild headlines about brothers Paul and McGregor. For now, the Paul brothers appear to be on good terms as reported fight talks continue between the two of them and McGregor.
