MMA and boxing fans have reacted once again after Jake Paul made yet another bold claim that he would defeat UFC star Conor McGregor in the squared circle.

Paul, who was due to headline a card at Madison Square Garden next week, announced yesterday that the bout has been canceled due to an issue with Hasim Rahman Jr. and his team.

The former Disney Channel star has wasted no time in trying to book his next fight and has once again turned his attention to 'Notorious'. Paul believes more people would like to see him face the Irishman than boxing great Floyd Mayweather. He gave his opinion on a potential fight with the UFC superstar in a recent interview with DAZN:

Fans have reacted to Paul's latest claim, with one fan admitting that the real battle is between 'The Problem Child' and Henry Cejudo regarding who can call out McGregor the most.

Another fan raised the point of the difference between the two men's sizes, as Paul fights at 190lbs whereas McGregor has only fought at 170lbs or below.

Michael Bisping discusses rumors of Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather 2

Although Jake Paul would like to add his name to the mix, the latest rumors suggest a second bout between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather is close to being agreed.

The Irishman first faced the undefeated boxer back in 2017 in what was dubbed 'The Money Fight'. It certainly lived up to its name. McGregor's 10th-round TKO loss was the single biggest payday of his career so far. Mayweather reportedly earned over $275 million for the bout with 'Notorious' taking home over $130 million.

Michael Bisping discussed the rumored bout on his YouTube channel. 'The Count' believes the only reason Conor McGregor is interested in a rematch is because he'd love to be the one to hand Mayweather (50-0) the first professional boxing loss of his career:
