KSI confirms talks to fight UFC megastar Conor McGregor in place of Logan Paul: ‘I’m very down’
British rapper and social media star, KSI has confirmed talks for him to take on UFC megastar, Conor McGregor are far further along than just rumors — claiming he is “very down” to take on the Dubliner in the squared circle next, amid worries over a potential pairing between the latter and professional wrestler, Logan Paul.
KSI, who has featured in six professional boxing matches, has been sidelined from the ring since he took on reality television star, Tommy Fury — the half-brother of former undisputed WBC heavyweight world champion, Tyson Fury — dropping a controversial unanimous decision defeat in which he heavily disputed.
As for McGregor, the former two-weight champion has yet to compete in combat sports since 2021, however, has played up a potential exhibition boxing match against the above-mentioned Paul in recent weeks, amid links the duo are set to land a jaw-dropping $250,000,000 payday to share the ring in Mumbai, India.
However, earlier this week, Paul put considerable distance between himself and a boxing showcase against McGregor, claiming he was “dedicating” his life to professional wrestling and the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment).
“I’ve been so good at this [professional wrestling],” Logan Paul explained. “Now, I’m dedicating my life to this. No more side hustle, no more bullsh*t. 100% WWE.”
