Undefeated boxer Tommy Fury wants a shot at UFC superstar Conor McGregor after Logan Paul rumors stalled fight talks.
As Conor McGregor continues to push for a return to the boxing ring later this year, it appears a new challenger has entered the conversation after Tommy Fury took his shot on social media.
McGregor has been linked with a possible boxing fight with Logan Paul in India later this year. Logan was the first name to surface after McGregor revealed he had made 'tentative agreements' to deal with the polarizing personality in the ring.
At the time of writing, nothing has been formally announced regarding McGregor's targeted return to the ring. But that hasn't stopped speculation about what a fight between McGregor and Paul would look like.
Earlier this week, the excitement behind McGregor vs. Paul after reports surfaced that Paul was pulling out of the fight talks to focus on his WWE career. KSI, a former opponent of Fury and Paul, entered the mix for McGregor's next boxing match in a separate callout.
It didn't take long for Fury, who was set to face Darren Till in the ring later this month, to have his say.

Tommy Fury vs. Conor McGregor?
In a recent tweet, Fury called out McGregor amid the KSI fight rumors.
“[Conor] don't waste your time with defeated fighters. Fight the man who beat them all and still has his 0,” Fury tweeted on Thursday.
“I'll wait.”
Fury pulled out of his Misfits Boxing match with Till after the former UFC title challenger threatened to launch illegal strikes during a pre-fight press conference. Till will now face Fury's former rival, Anthony Taylor, on January 18.
At the time of writing, McGregor has not yet responded to Fury's call. In addition to a possible return to boxing, McGregor is working on a focused return to MMA later this year after withdrawing from UFC 303 last June.
Tommy Fury and KSI have entered the mix for the Conor McGregor showdown
Fury has not fought in the ring since defeating KSI by unanimous decision in October 2023. The brother of heavyweight boxing star Tyson Fury is 10-0 in his boxing career with recent victories over Jake Paul, Daniel Bocianski and Jordan Grant.
McGregor's only professional boxing match came against Hall of Famer Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2017, losing by late round TKO. Since then, he has been teased, returning to the ring against the likes of Manny Pacquiao and both Paul brothers.
If rumors of fights with KSI and the Paul brothers don't materialize, McGregor and Fury could potentially come face-to-face later this year. In the meantime, the wait continues for the UFC superstar's return to fighting.
