Dana White is still not Jake Paul’s biggest fan. Dana White hasn’t been tight-lipped about his disdain for Jake Paul and the attention he is receiving from the media. He even expressed interest in putting big money on Ben Askren before backtracking from these remarks after Askren’s first-round KO loss to Paul. White isn’t the […]
Conor McGregor has been one of the latest targets for a potential future boxing match with YouTuber turned Boxer Jake Paul, as the irishman gets ready to compete at UFC 264 against Dustin Poirier. However, Paulie Malignaggi, who trained with McGregor leading up to his Boxing debut fight against Floyd Mayweather, doesn’t think that ‘The […]
Conor McGregor has been one of the latest targets for a potential future boxing match with YouTuber turned Boxer Jake Paul, as the irishman gets ready to compete at UFC 264 against Dustin Poirier.
“If they would fight right now, I would pick Paul over McGregor,” Malignaggi said in an interview with YouTuber SnowQueenLA. “The one question mark I have about Paul is how he keeps his emotions in check, and how he deals with fighting a fighter and not a basketball player or a YouTuber.”
The former Boxer and McGregor have had their beef in the past, with the two going back-and-forth about a viral sparring session leading up to the Mayweather fight. Malignaggi also competed against McGregor’s teammate, Artem Lobov in a Bare Knuckle Fighting event in late 2019, a fight in which he lost by decision.
Paul is coming off his impressive first-round knockout win against former UFC welterweight Ben Askren, and is currently pondering who his next opponent could be. Options include former UFC champions Tyron Woodley and B.J. Penn, along with current Bellator fighter and McGregor teammate Dillon Danis.
Paul has been calling for a fight with McGregor ever since he knocked out former NBA star Nate Robinson in his second fight in the boxing ring. He has previously offered McGregor’s team $50 million dollars for a potential Boxing match, but the UFC star has appeared to be uninterested in the fight as of now.
McGregor is currently getting ready for his trilogy fight with Poirier in July, a big fight in the UFC’s lightweight division. The winner of the trilogy is almost surely to get the next lightweight title shot, with Michael Chandler and Charles Oliveira competing for the vacant belt at UFC 262 next month.
While it seems unlikely that the two will compete in a Boxing ring anytime in the near future, the prospect of seeing them fight is sure to draw the interest of fans and critics of the two polarizing athletes alike.
What do you think would happen if Conor McGregor and Jake Paul fight in a Boxing match?

Jake Paul has revealed Pete Davidson will not be invited back to commentate on any of his future fights.
THe YouTuber’s most reccent bout came against Ben Askren and was a star-studded event from top to bottom.
Inside the ring Paul demonstrated his knockout power. Outside of the ring we saw musical performances from the likes of Justin Bieber, Doja Cat and Snoop Dogg. While comedian/actor Pete Davidson was on hand to help out with commentary duties.
However, some of Davidson’s jokes didn’t sit well with Paul.
During the broadcast, Davidson would throw some verbal jabs at the YouTuber, calling him ‘a piece of s***’.
This wasn’t the only joke the comedian had in his new routine.
“[Askren and Paul] both suck, but at least somebody’s gonna get hurt” said Davidson.
Paul caught word of the negative comments and said he wouldn’t be invited back, on his brothers Logan Paul’s Impaulsive Podcast.
“F*** that guy,” Paul said. “He won’t ever be a part of those ever again. He f***ed this s*** up, bro.”
In Jake’s eyes, Davidson was attempting to gain more ‘clout’.
“The s*** he said is like s*** you can’t take back,” Paul said.
Looks like the next star-filled cast of personalities which featured Snoop Dogg, Oscar De La Hoya, Ray Flores, Al Bernstein and Mike Coppinger will not have Pete Davidson the next time around.
Do you agree with Jake Paul? Should Pete Davidson no longer work on Triller fight nights?

Legendary ring announcer Michael Buffer isn’t one to make too many slip-ups in the Boxing ring, but he recently spoke out about a big mistake he made just before the Ben Askren vs. Jake Paul fight.
As fight fans watched from around the world, Buffer mispronounced Askren’s name during the fighter introductions, with the longtime announcer saying “Ben Askew” instead of “Ben Askren”.
In a way, the moment added to the hilarity of the event; which included unusual commentary by Oscar De La Hoya and Snoop Dogg.
“I really feel bad, it happens,” Buffer said. “I’m hard on myself and I want to try to find a way to reach out and let him know I feel just as bad as he does.”
The 76-year-old Buffer is arguably one of the most recognized voices in prized fighting, along with his half-brother; UFC announcer Bruce Buffer. He is infamous for coining the well-known phrase “Let’s get ready to rumble” inside the ring.
Askren went on to lose via first-round knockout to Paul, who moves his professional Boxing record to an undefeated 3-0. Askren hasn’t spoken out publically about the incident but gave a viral reaction during the event when Buffer made the slip-up.
Buffer also spoke about Paul’s talent in the ring.
“He can punch, he’s a draw, and he has a big digital following. So it’s going to be a fun ride.” Buffer said.
It takes a real classy human being to admit when you made a mistake, and the always class act Buffer is no exception. While the mispronunciation is rare over the course of Buffer’s 30 years as a ring announcer, it provided a comedic moment for those who tuned in to the event.
