Logan Paul has made a huge announcement following on from Conor McGregor’s shock claim that the pair are set to fight.
On Tuesday morning, the Irishman took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to announce his next fight will not be in the UFC.
Denying speculation he will be facing Ilia Topuria inside the Octagon, McGregor stated that he is set to take on the elder Paul brother in a boxing exhibition contest in India.
McGregor wrote:” I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India.
“I have agreed. I will then seek my return to the Octagon.”
McGregor’s beef has been with Logan‘s younger brother Jake, who has been calling him out for a while now and beat Mike Tyson in his last boxing fight in November.
Logan’s last boxing bout was in October 2023 against Dillon Danis and he has instead prioritised his lucrative contract with WWE until recently, claiming he had retired after becoming a father.

But on Wednesday night, having not been since August when he lost his United States title at SummerSlam, Paul made a return to WWE at an event hyping up their huge debut Monday Night Raw show live on Netflix.
General Manager Adam Pearce announced that Paul has joined the Raw roster for the mammoth Netflix move, which is worth $5 billion. Paul then made his entrance and let rip on the fnas before stating his desire to become a world champion.
“If you have something that I want, I’m going to take it,” Paul said.
“I’m not asking permission. I am going to take it from you. I know some of you all in the crowd, some of you at home, are saying, ‘Oh, Logan Paul’s a bully.’ I see this narrative online. I can see it in your faces right now. You all look like cowards. You’re pathetic. ‘Logan Paul’s a bully.’ Yeah, I am a bully. And the WWE is my playground.
“Look, I’m not here to take part. I’m here to take over. Your approval means nothing to me. Whether you love me, whether you hate me, I don’t care because you’re still watching, and you will stay watching because you are a spectator and I am a star. And I promise everyone in the crowd right now, everyone watching at home, home, you are looking at the future WWE world champion, and his name is Logan Paul.”
Following up on X, Paul commented: “Ok I’m unretired. The Greatest United States Champion of all time returns to @WWE Monday Night Raw on Netflix, January 6. 2025 is mine.”
