Logan Paul's rumored boxing match with Conor McGregor might have hit a snag recently after reports that Jake Paul has entered the mix.
Jake Paul has repeatedly called out UFC superstar Conor McGregor during his polarizing boxing career. If recent reports are true, he could be on his way to finally getting his long-awaited showdown against the former two-division UFC champion.
Jake's brother, Logan, was recently linked to a possible boxing match with McGregor after the former UFC champion tweeted that he has reached “tentative agreements” with Logan and his team for a fight in India. At the time of writing, nothing has been formally announced about a potential showdown between Logan and McGregor, although that hasn't stopped the two sides from fueling speculation online.
After the initial story surrounding Logan vs McGregor was that Logan 'sniped' Jake's fight, reports surfaced that the latter could potentially do the same to his brother.

Conor McGregor teased Logan Paul during his fight in India for fighting a return
According to ESPN boxing reporter Salvador Rodriguez, a clash between Jake and McGregor is now on the table in India sometime between July and September 2025. At the time of writing, neither McGregor nor Jake have addressed the reports.
Jake recently defeated the heavyweight boxing legend in his latest martial arts success story earlier this year. He has won five straight fights since suffering his first career defeat to Tommy Fury in 2023.
McGregor has long teased a return to the UFC Octagon and was set to headline UFC 303 against Michael Chandler before withdrawing due to a toe injury. In the latest update from UFC CEO Dana White, McGregor was mentioned for a return to the cage in late 2025.
In response to the initial reports of Logan vs. McGregor, Jake called McGregor “washed” and claimed that the only way a fight could be negotiated between them would be if White gave the green light. White teased a surprise announcement for the 2025 UFC roster during the UFC Tampa post-fight presser, and some pundits have linked White's “surprise” to the McGregor/Paul reports.
Report: Jake Paul vs. Conor McGregor 'on the table' for summer 2025
McGregor's only professional boxing match came in 2017 against Boxing Hall Famer Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the infamous 'money fight'. McGregor lost by TKO and has since hinted at a possible rematch with Mayweather, along with a possible booking against Mayweather's former rival Manny Pacquiao.
Logan's last boxing fight came against former Bellator prospect Dillon Danis, McGregor's old teammate at SBG Ireland. He has hinted at a return in 2025 against a yet-to-be-determined opponent, possibly McGregor, after the swirl of recent reports.
McGregor has not competed in combat sports since suffering a leg injury against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. He has repeatedly hinted at a UFC comeback after coaching opposite Chandler on The Ultimate Fighter.
McGregor, Logan and Jake are all at the center of one of the most intriguing crossover boxing headlines heading into 2025. While nothing is set in stone between McGregor and Paul's brothers, we could get more clarity on the negotiations soon.
