McGregor, Logan Paul Exhibition Match Confirmed for India

Conor McGregor has announced plans to fight YouTube star and WWE champion Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India, delaying his return to the UFC. The match is backed by the Ambani family, with no confirmed date yet. McGregor, who has not fought since a 2021 UFC match against Dustin Poirier, refuted rumors of a fight with UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria. This development follows a recent civil court ruling in Ireland where McGregor was found liable for sexual assault, ordered to pay €248,000 in damages, and he intends to appeal the decision. McGregor's sole previous professional boxing bout was a 2017 loss to Floyd Mayweather. Meanwhile, Logan Paul's boxing history includes a draw with Mayweather and a recent WWE United States Championship win.
