Conor McGregor Agrees to Boxing Exhibition with Logan Paul in India, Backed by Ambanis, Plans UFC Return

Dec 17, 2024, 04:40 PM

Conor McGregor, aged 36, has announced that he is in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul, aged 29, in a boxing exhibition in India. McGregor clarified that rumors of a bout with Ilia Topuria are false and stated his intention to return to the UFC Octagon following the exhibition match with Paul. The announcement comes after McGregor was found liable for sexual assault in a civil court case, though he maintains his innocence and plans to appeal the decision. McGregor has not fought in the UFC since injuring his leg in a bout against Dustin Poirier in July 2021, and he withdrew from a scheduled fight with Michael Chandler due to a broken toe. Logan Paul, known for his YouTube fame and subsequent career in boxing and WWE, has yet to publicly respond to McGregor's announcement.
