Conor McGregor to Box Logan Paul Instead of UFC Return

Conor McGregor, the well-known UFC star, has surprised everyone by announcing on his X account that his next fight will not be in the UFC Octagon, but a boxing exhibition against WWE Superstar Logan Paul. Recent rumors suggested that McGregor would face current featherweight champion Ilia Topuria. However, McGregor himself has cleared up these rumors. Instead of a UFC fight, McGregor will step into the boxing ring with Logan Paul. This isn't McGregor's first boxing match. He previously faced Floyd Mayweather in 2017, which was one of the biggest fights in combat sports history. Logan Paul, who started as a YouTuber, has also dabbled in boxing. He has fought KSI twice, once in an exhibition and once professionally, and also faced MMA fighter Dillon Danis. Paul currently has a professional record of 1-1, with a win over Danis and a loss to KSI. It's important to note that McGregor has already agreed to the fight, but the date is yet to be announced. Fans are waiting to see Logan Paul's response and whether this announcement is legitimate or just another social media talking point.
