Social media is abuzz with rumors about a potential blockbuster fight between Jake Paul and Conor McGregor, following a mysterious “Shhh” message from Paul.

Speculation has intensified following Paul’s recent victory over boxing legend Mike Tyson, and now he appears poised for another high-profile fight, this time potentially against the MMA superstar.

McGregor previously claimed he was negotiating a match with Jake’s brother Logan Paul, revealing on social media: “Rumors of a fight with [Ilia] Topurias are false. I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul at a boxing event in India. I agreed. Then I will strive to return to the octagon.”

However, it looks like Jake has passed Logan as the likely contender.

ESPN reports suggest that Jake Paul’s fight with McGregor may take place sometime between July and September 2025.

Meanwhile, Logan Paul is preparing to step into the WWE spotlight next year by working with Netflix, with an appearance scheduled for Monday Night Raw on January 6.

While there has been no official word from Jake Paul on the prospect of fighting McGregor, his suggestive “Shhh” response to the rumors circulating sent fans into a frenzy, with one excitedly replying: “You’re fighting Conor McGregor, let’s go!” while another asked: “When [are] are you officially announcing the McGregor fight?”

Fans encouraged the fight, with one urging him to “put Conor to sleep” and others challenging the YouTuber to face McGregor in the cage. Meanwhile, Paul publicly challenged McGregor after his fight with Tyson, suggesting an MMA fight without weight restrictions.

He mocked X: “Dear Conor, I know you told my team you would fight me at 170 pounds. This will never happen. But let’s do it in MMA. No weight category. Just like it used to be done. T.”

Lennox Lewis called up Tyson Fury to fight Anthony Joshua after his second defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.

Usyk defeated Fury by unanimous decision to retain his WBA, WBO and WBC heavyweight world titles seven months after “The Gypsy King” was defeated by split decision becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lewis achieved the feat in 1999.

Fury, who claimed his rival received a “gift” from the judges and the three scored 116-112, remained coy on his next move, although many suggested the long-awaited fight with Anthony Joshua should be made his next move, with a view with which “Lew” agrees.

“He’s going to London,” said the 59-year-old TNT Sports.

“Maybe the biggest fight in history.

“Anthony Joshua.”

Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn said the fight against the Watford fighter, who also has two losses to Oleksandr Usyk and is coming off a devastating fifth-round fight against IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois, is the “only” fight left.

“The reality is that Tyson Fury only has one fight,” the Matchroom boss said DAZN.

“And this is Anthony Joshua.

“It’s probably the biggest fight in British boxing history.

“Everyone will always want to see it.

“But for me, the best solution is AJ against Furia.

“It’s the one at Wembley [Stadium] and then we come back here for the Riyad season [for the rematch]”

Usyk welcomed a rematch with Dubois after the 27-year-old stormed the ring during his post-fight interview to demand a second meeting.

The Londoner will defend his IBF title for the second time against Joseph Parker on February 22 in Riyad.

Usyk will have a mandatory WBC appearance in the form of the winner of the Zhilei Zhang vs. Agit Kabayel fight, which will also take place on February 22.

Simon Jordan says the fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua has “no significance whatsoever” following the former’s second straight defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury’s unanimous decision defeat in Riyad meant he joined long-time rival Joshua in suffering back-to-back defeats to unified world heavyweight champion Usyk.

Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn called for a showdown between the British pair despite both men ending up with defeats and Joshua suffering a bruise Lost in the fifth round to IBF heavyweight world champion Daniel Dubois in September.

However, talkSPORT expert Jordan says the long-awaited fight has lost its luster.

Asked if he wanted to see the clash, the former Crystal Palace owner replied: “Not particularly.

“A battle of the underdogs in terms of both bouncing back from defeats.

“They don’t have the prestige they had before.

“I like boxing full of danger and meaning, not bragging rights and finances.

“There is nothing at the end except that everyone cares that Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua get a gigantic payday and someone gets bragging rights.

“Joshua just got kicked out by Daniel Dubois, he lost to Usyk twice.

“Fury was beaten twice by Usyk.

“He didn’t have any significant fight. He chose the path he followed.

“He decided to fight [Francis] Ngannoudecided to fight Derek Chisora.

“None of those fights prepared him for the Usyk fight, he took a whirlwind into it.

“I understand why people want to see it, and I understand that, and I suspect that if it was on, I would probably watch it, but am I advocating watching Fury fight Joshua in a fight that has no meaning other than bragging rights?

“What is this for? These two guys are no longer at the top of boxing.

All three judges scored the fight 116-112 in favor of Usyk, who defended his WBA “super”, WBC and WBO titles and described “The Gypsy King” as a “Christmas gift”.

The 36-year-old wasn’t sure if he would continue fighting after his second consecutive professional defeat.
