Conor McGregor now has a response from Jake Paul regarding the Irishman's thoughts on the former Disney star's upcoming fight versus Mike Tyson. The contest transpires on Nov. 15 in Arlington, Texas and the fistic fireworks will broadcast on Netflix. McGregor was asked about this boxing bout during a recent DuelBits livestream.
Multiple topics in the fight world were touched upon and regarding his assessment of Paul vs Tyson, McGregor said:
"Don't give a b*llocks. They're wearing 14-oz gloves. It's two-minute rounds is it? It's two minute rounds? Who gives a b*llocks. I hope he [Tyson] rattles that little dope [Paul]. No one gives a f*ck about him. How is that even in the f*cking Dallas Stadium? What's going on?"
In a recent Instagram story, Paul responded to McGregor by succinctly stating,

Conor McGregor and Jake Paul's rivalry
Conor McGregor and Jake Paul have been both directly as well as indirectly firing shots off at one another through most of this decade so far. A lot of it seemed to stem from the fallout of a November 2020 fight that saw Jake Paul knock out NBA player Nate Robinson on the Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. undercard.
The combat sports disruptor has been goading McGregor since then, as Paul has built up more of a resume within the sweet science.
The 36-year-old recently stated that Mike Perry would be ousted from BKFC following the latter's loss to Paul in July. Paul then responded to 'The Notorious' following that win and stated that McGregor was afraid to fight the YouTuber inside the boxing ring.
The Dublin native has not fought since July 2021 when he snapped his leg in his Dustin Poirier trilogy bout. There are talks for Conor McGregor to return to the cage in early 2025 but nothing has been officially confirmed as of yet.
