Earlier this year, the former Disney actor accused McGregor of to be “afraid” to face him inside the squared circle.

His X-rated speech towards Notorious was the result of a war of words between the two men after McGregor called the American ” ‘little idiot’.

But now the two men could settle their differences in the ring – which could happen in July, August or September of next year.

It is according to ESPN journalist Salvador Rodriguez, who said an offer was “on the table.”

He also said that the dusting could take place in India.

McGregor hasn’t fought since 2021 after breaking his leg in his loss to Dustin Poirier in their trilogy fight.

Meanwhile, Paul has been very active in recent years – competing nine times during McGregor’s absence.

His record stands at 11-1, with his most recent fight coming against boxing legend Mike Tyson in November as he reached a victory on points.

But Jake isn’t the only member of the Paul family to be linked with a McGregor fight.

McGregor recently announced on social media that he was in talks to face Jake’s brother – and WWE star – Logan in an exhibition contest.

Taking to social media, McGregor denied rumors of a fight with UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria, before addressing the news of another possible fight.

He posted on X: “The rumors of a fight with (Topuria) are false.

“I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambrani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India.

“I accepted. I will then request my return to the Octagon.”

Just two hours after his claim, Jake responded by stating that McGregor had initially contacted him about a possible reunion.

He said: “Now it all makes sense, why Conor McGregor and his management team desperately tried to convince MVP to negotiate a fight between us..

“As we told them privately and I now say publicly…

“The only way we are willing to explore me vs. Conor in a professional boxing/MMA fight is if Dana White/UFC is directly at the table or they make it clear they are OK with the discussions.

“Conor is washed up. He needs the Pauls. Logan goes as he wants.”

Jake and Dana White have been involved in a bitter feud for a few years now and the UFC president previously said he would never work with him or his brother.

Given that McGregor has two fights remaining under his UFC contract, one would expect MMA’s premier promotion to grant him permission to feud with Logan. It therefore remains to be seen whether this fight can take place logistically.

“First of all, I would never do business with those guys, but no, that’s not what I do,” White said. ESPN three years ago.

WWE makes huge decision on Logan Paul after the star takes a U-turn in his career following Conor McGregor’s announcement.

“I’m not going to lend them a guy, for what?”

“There’s no way. You’ve got plenty of damn idiots you can round up to get in there and play these games these guys are playing. I’m not your guy.”
