Conor McGregor has revealed that he has reached a ‘preliminary agreement’ to fight Logan Paul, which would take place before any return to the UFC.
The Irishman has not fought in over three years since breaking his leg in the first round of his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier. He was scheduled to face Michael Chandler earlier this year but pulled out two weeks in advance, citing a broken toe.
McGregor’s future in the UFC remains highly uncertain despite reports linking him with a fight against featherweight champion Ilia Topuria. He took to social media on Tuesday to play down those rumours, instead claiming that Paul will be his next opponent.
On X (formerly Twitter), he posted: “The rumors of a bout with Topuria 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.”
