In a post on social media on Tuesday morning (16), the former UFC featherweight (up to 65,7 kg) and lightweight (up to 70,3 kg) champion revealed that he was negotiating a boxing match against Logan Paul, brother of Jake Paul, in India.

“The rumours of a fight with Topuria are false. I am in preliminary arrangements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in an exhibition boxing match in India. I have already agreed to the terms. I will then seek my return to the Octagon,” wrote the Irishman.

Conor McGregor hasn't fought since July 2021, when he suffered a serious leg injury in the defeat to Dustin poirier. The 'Notorious' even had a fight scheduled against Michael chandler in June of this year, but had to leave the card UFC 303 due to a new injury.
