Recently, the boxing world has been talking a lot about a big fight between Conor McGregor and Logan Paul, which might happen in India with the help of Mukesh Ambani’s family.
McGregor confirmed that something like this is happening behind the scenes. Now, KSI’s boxing promotion, Misfit Boxing, has shared new details about the exciting fight.
Conor McGregor says the fight is planned for 2025, with both he and Logan Paul expected to earn $250 million each. Some experts think it could be a hoax because of the huge investment.
The Ambani family hosts the event as part of India’s “Visit India” tourism campaign. However, KSI’s boxing promotion, Misfit Boxing, shared insider details in a YouTube video.
They said talks are happening, and both McGregor and Paul are eager to make it work. The UFC is also involved because of McGregor’s contract with them.
UFC legend on why Conor McGregor vs Logan Paul can happen
Conor McGregor’s UFC contract won’t stop him from fighting Logan Paul in boxing, says Chael Sonnen, a UFC Hall of Famer. In a video, Sonnen explained that even though UFC contracts are exclusive, they don’t control a fighter completely. He thinks people worry too much about these contracts.
He said, “Having an exclusive contract with somebody doesn’t mean that you own that person like a slave. It means that you have some very exclusive obligations to that person as well… Not to mention, that contract would never hold up anyway. You play along in this industry.”
