It’s early days, but it looks like former WWE United States Champion Logan Paul may be making a return to the boxing ring against none other than UFC’s Conor McGregor.

Paul has a win over Dillon Danis after their October 2023 bout following his June 2021 fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr that saw no winner.

Now, Paul could be making his boxing comeback in a match against former UFC Featherweight & Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor.

Tweeting about recent rumors that he was to face UFC Featherweight Champion Ilia Topuria, McGregor claimed:

The rumors of a bout with Topurio 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.

McGregor has not fought competitively since his loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021 at UFC 264.

He would star as Knox in the remake of Road House in 2024, with Jake Gyllenhaal leading the movie as Dalton.

Logan Paul last competed in August 2024 at WWE SummerSlam, losing the United States Championship to LA Knight.

He recently commented about attending the WWE and Netflix media event saying he “felt good” and “felt at home”.

We will provide further updates on the potential fight between McGregor and Paul as/when they become available.
