YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has put Conor McGregor on blast, calling out the UFC star for disrespecting Anthony Joshua after his win over Robert Helenius.
After redeeming himself for his loss against Tommy Fury, taking the win over former UFC fighter Nate Diaz via unanimous decision on August 5, Jake Paul and Conor McGregor have had a heated back-and-forth.
While their rivalry has gone back years, Paul’s fight with Nate Diaz reignited the feud with McGregor, and the Irishman called out both Diaz and Paul after their recent bout. The YouTube star hit back, claiming McGregor “needs to go to rehab” — before he took it a step further, calling him a selfish, self-centered, salty drug addict.
However, their feud hasn’t stopped there, with ‘The Problem Child’ now calling out McGregor again, taking issue with Featherweight and Lightweight UFC Champion for “disrespecting” Anthony Joshua.
