Conor McGregor vs Logan Paul: ‘The Notorious’ returns in $250M boxing fight in India

Fightmag have reported that Conor McGregor is set for his next fight against Logan Paul in Mumbai, India.

The boxing match pits the former two-division UFC champion of Ireland against the WWE star and boxer of Westlake, Ohio.

The weight division, as well as the number of rounds, have yet to be confirmed.

“The Notorious” McGregor (22-6 MMA, 0-1 boxing) hasn’t fought since 2021, when he suffered a pair of defeats against Dustin Poirier in July and January, respectively.

The 36-year-old Dublin native was scheduled to make his UFC return against TUF 31 rival coach Michael Chandler, but the contest fell through.

He was then rumored to face Dan Hooker in an MMA fight in February 2025 in Saudi Arabia.

Conor McGregor made his pro boxing debut in August 2017, going up against Floyd Mayweather Jr. (50-0, 27 KOs).

The five-division world champion of Grand Rapids, Michigan came out victorious via 10th-round TKO.

Logan Paul (1-1) took the win against Dillon Danis via sixth-round disqualification in a “Misfits Boxing” fight in October 2023.

In his first boxing match, the 29-year-old dropped a split decision against KSI.

Each fighter is expected to earn $250 million, per  FightBook MMA.

The venue accommodating the McGregor vs Paul showdown is Wankhede Stadium. The event is held as part of the “Visit India” tourism campaign.

The fight date is expected to be determined shortly.
