Conor McGregor has taken a brutal swipe at Jake Paul’s sense of fashion, likening it to that of one of the world’s most notorious sex offenders.

Paul, a YouTuber-turned-boxer and now promoter of Amanda Serrano, watched his client lose via split decision tonight to Katie Taylor in perhaps the biggest female boxing match in history. Not only was it a devastating blow to Paul’s pride, but also to his bank account. The 25-year-old had laid down $1 million in a bet with his co-promoter, Eddie Hearn.

And if that wasn’t enough salt rubbed into Paul’s wounds, in stepped long-time agitator and proud Katie Taylor supporter Conor McGregor to rub in a bit more. The Irishman took to Twitter to mock Paul’s choice of fashion accessory as the YouTuber watched Serrano lose ringside.

“Who the fuck is this jackass in the pink Jimmy Saville glasses?” tweeted McGregor, likening the YouTuber to one of history’s most prolific celebrity sex offenders.

Paul, however, isn’t one to turn the other cheek. Feeling the sting of loss for the first time in his boxing career, the 5-0 fighter clapped back at The Notorious One, providing a laundry list of reasons why he’s the better man.

“Im the one who has done more for fighters than you ever have; the one who has won 5 fights in the past 2 years while you have lost 5; the one who isn’t owned by Dana White; the one who made the fight you just watched happen; the 1 who got your hero Katie Taylor paid; that’s who,” tweeted Paul.

This isn’t the first time McGregor has branded Paul a jackass. He famously did so just last month after Jake criticized a video showcasing the Irishman’s boxing skills. McGregor has, however, been reluctant to engage with the regular mud-slinging from Paul. But his latest tweet could be a sign of plenty more online skirmishes between the duo.

Paul has been relentlessly angling to set up a fight with the former UFC double-champ and believes he would KO Conor in boxing or MMA. But with McGregor not deigning to even dignify Jake’s pestering with a response, the YouTuber now appears to be setting his sights on Mike Tyson.

Conor McGregor called out Jake Paul for his outfit choice during the Amanda Serrano vs Katie Taylor fight.

Paul has been in the corner of Serrano while McGregor has been backing his fellow Irish fighter in Taylor. Taylor ultimately beat Serrano via split decision to retain the undisputed title. It was an absolute barnburner of a fight and one of the best fights in recent memory. Some would even argue that it was the best women’s fight in the history of the sport.

Serrano is currently signed to Paul’s promotion, MVP (Most Valuable Promotions), and is currently the only fighter signed to the promotion. Paul has been backing her in the entire lead and even had a bet with Eddie Hearn for $1 Million but wasn’t formally made due to a conflict of interest on Hearn’s side of things.

immediately after Taylor won by split decision, Paul took to Twitter to go to bat for his fighter. He simply tweeted out “Robbed”.

Paul quickly fired a barrage of insults back at him in a lengthy tweet.

“Im the one who has done more for fighters than you ever have the one who has won 5 fights in the past 2 years while you have lost 5 the one who isn’t owned by Dana White the one who made the fight you just watched happen the 1 who got your hero Katie Taylor paid that’s who” Paul quote tweeted in a reply to McGregor.

Conor hilariously tweeted out a picture of Jimmy Savile in response to Paul.

Katie Taylor

Undefeated and undisputed. Bray native, Katie Taylor remains the unified lightweight champion after a 10 round back-and-forth war against challenger, Amanda Serrano — defeating the Puerto Rico striker with a close, split decision win at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

In an incredibly close and even fight, Taylor faced major adversity in the fifth round midway through the fight, also suffering the first knockdown of her professional career as Serrano backed her to her own corner and laid out severe punishment with a slew of hooks and straight shots.

Taking her foot off the proverbial gas pedal in the sixth frame, Serrano — who had arguably stolen three of the opening four, uber-close rounds, ultimately gave up the final few frames on the judge’s scorecards with Taylor rallying and countering on cue when opportunity arose.

Ahead of this weekend’s massive lightweight professional boxing showdown between world champion, Katie Taylor, and challenger, Amanda Serrano – event promoters, undefeated boxer, Jake Paul, and Matchroom promoter, Eddie Hearn have agreed to a whopping $1,000,000 bet on the outcome of the high-profile New York showdown.

Set to headline at Madison Square Garden, Katie Taylor, boasting an undefeated, 20-0 professional record, attempts to successfully defend the WBA, WBC, IFB, WBO, and The Ring lightweight titles as she clashes with WBC and WBO featherweight best, the 42-1-1 challenger, Serrano.

The event, which has been promoted by the aforenoted Matchroom leader, Hearn – who represents, Katie Taylor, and Paul – who heads up MVP representing Serrano, also comes with quite the sizable bet between the two promoters – who have agreed to a $1,000,000 wager on the monumental championship clash.

During this week’s press conference in The Big Apple, Paul wagered a potential bet of all the jewellery he was sporting on stage, before Hearn retorted, and offered a $500,000 bet – which was met, and raised by Paul to $1,000,000. Contemplating the offer for a moment, Hearn agreed to the bet – shaking hands, before Paul claimed that should he win the wager, he would be issuing the prize money to Serrano.

Defending champion, Katie Taylor enters her clash with Amanda Serrano as a betting underdog 

Bray native, Taylor, 35, who scooped gold at the London 2012 Summer Olympic games, most recently competed against Firuza Sharipova in December of last year, scoring a unanimous decision win over the course of 10 rounds to retain her above mentioned lightweight crowns. Taylor also holds a victory over Serrano’s sister, Cindy Serrano – securing a 2018 decision win in Boston, Massachusetts. 

Puerto Rico native, Serrano has competed professionally since 2009, and had featured as a professional mixed martial artist on three occasions, landing an undefeated 2-0-1 record. In her most recent outing, Serrano defeat Miriam Gonzalez with a unanimous decision win in December of last year in a non-title bout at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. 

Serrano Piggybacks Paul’s UFC Proposal By Offering To Fight Shevchenko

Amanda Serrano, Valentina Shevchenko

Boxing star Amanda Serrano is game for a crossover fight with UFC champion Valentina Shevchenko if the UFC allows it to happen.

Serrano’s Most Valuable Promotions colleague Jake Paul made a recent offer to UFC president Dana White to retire from boxing if certain points are met. Paul has repeatedly called for White to increase UFC fighter pay and provide health care benefits to his athletes in exchange for an MMA fight with Jorge Masvidal.

While it’s fairly unlikely that White will agree to Paul’s demands, Serrano gave her two cents on the offer and proposed a UFC fight with Shevchenko.

Serrano responded to Paul’s offer to White with an additional caveat of her own on Twitter.

“I will gladly sign a one-fight deal with the UFC to challenge Valentina for the flyweight championship if UFC agrees to Jake’s offer,” Serrano tweeted. “Let’s make history.”

White has accused Paul of using performance-enhancing drugs in his boxing career in a sharp response to Paul accusing him of cocaine use. Neither accusation has been backed up with much evidence, but Serrano seems interested in a matchup with Shevchenko.

Shevchenko is coming off of a dominant 2021, in which she dismantled top flyweight contenders Lauren Murphy and Jéssica Andrade. She has arguably cleaned out the flyweight division at the moment, making a matchup with Serrano somewhat feasible as a way to occupy Shevchenko’s time.

Serrano has captivated the boxing world with a 42-1-1 record, including a 28 fight winning streak. She also has an undefeated record in MMA, earning submission wins over Valentina Garcia and Erendira Ordonez.

Serrano most recently put on dominant boxing performances against Miriam Gutierrez and Yamileth Mercado in a pair of co-main events on Paul-led boxing cards. While it’s unclear if Shevchenko has any interest in boxing, it certainly seems that Serrano is intrigued by the idea of moving into her world in the UFC Octagon.
