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.

A novel video has appeared online showing Tyson Fury getting irate at the judges who awarded a unanimous victory to Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday evening. All three judges in Saudi Arabia scored the fight 116–112 in Usyk’s favor, which left Fury furious.

This rematch was highly anticipated after Fury’s split decision loss to Usyk in May. The latest video, released by TNT Sports, shows Fury after the fight at the Kingdom Arena, where he adamantly claims he was “robbed” and questions the decision to stage the fight in Saudi Arabia, suggesting bias, adding: “you get nothing.” in “those countries”.

When confronted by his former trainer Ben Davison, Fury can be heard demanding an straightforward opinion: “Everyone Oscar De La Hoya said he gave me four rounds. That’s what it’s all about. They were robbed. Fuck them. What do you think I really did to Ben? To which Davison replies: “I thought it was deadly tight. I thought you were going to get it, to be straightforward.”

Before heading to the locker room, Fury insists he has confidence in his performance: “I swear to God, I thought I won by at least three rounds. I was in charge of the fight, being on the offensive all evening, told to work and everything. Fuck it. Tell you what it is, you won’t get anything in these countries.

The three judges in the ring were Patrick Morley from the USA, Ignacio Robles from Panama and Gerardo Martinez from Puerto Rico. Interestingly, despite making the same final decision, the methods by which they got in were significantly different.

They agreed on the results of rounds four through eight, ten and eleven, with each scoring 10-9 to the winner with no knockdowns or even a 10-10 round pick. However, there were disagreements in the scoring of the remaining rounds.

After the fight, Fury vented his frustration with the result during the post-fight press conference, arguing that he should have been declared the winner, stating: “The judges gave him a Christmas present. I feel like I won both fights. I know I had to knock him out, but it’s boxing and things like that happen.

“I have no doubt that I won this fight. Franc [Warren] I was three or four rounds ahead, and many people were at least two rounds ahead of me. I won’t cry over spilled milk, it’s over.

“I have been training boxing all my life, but I will always feel a little tired – not a little, but a lot.”
