TikTok star turned boxer, Bryce Hall, has voiced concerns over Conor McGregor's potential fight against Logan Paul, suggesting it could harm McGregor's esteemed legacy. Hall believes that engaging in such a match might not align with McGregor's storied career in professional combat sports.
The proposed bout between McGregor and Paul is rumored to take place in Mumbai, India, at the Wankhede Stadium. With a staggering purse of $250 million, this event is anticipated to be funded by prominent investors aiming to make it a landmark occasion in the world of boxing.
In an interview with ‘The Schmo’ at KnuckleMania 5, Hall spoke about his recent meeting with McGregor, who he described as a "really nice guy". It was during this interview, that he also shared his perspective on the potential McGregor vs. Paul bout, stating:
"Conor shouldn’t even taint his legacy by doing that..I think Conor should just be a part of BKFC and just continue on that route."
