Jake Paul has claimed rival Conor McGregor is ‘scared’ after his recent social media rampage.

McGregor had taken to social media to criticise Paul after his recent win over former UFC and BKFC star Mike Perry, as he rallied to a brutal sixth round KO win.

He tweeted: “Jake Paul is the biggest p***bag I have ever seen in my life.

“40 pound weight difference and still shitting himself in there. Nakisa you should take him to Vegas oh that’s right you could never, the athletic commission testing, real testing, real fighting.

“B***h asses. You could never. And then calling out 60-year-old Mike Tyson fresh off an in flight medical emergency?

“I swear to god, a fat can of b***h piss. Most valuable p***bag.”

Paul has now issued a response during his post-fight press conference, telling reporters: “He was big upping his boy Mike Perry.

“I said, ‘OK Conor, after I f**k up Mike Perry, then you’re next. So Conor’s on Twitter all the time.

“He’s on his yacht all the time. Guess where he’s not? In the ring, fighting me.

“So he can talk all the f**k he wants, but The Notorious MMA is scared of Jake Joseph Paul from Disney channel. And I put that on my mama.”

Paul has regularly tried to entice McGregor into a boxing fight during his 11-fight career so far.

McGregor rarely responded to the repetitive jibes from Paul, but it appears the American has finally got his breakthrough.

Any showdown in the ring will now be highly unlikely, given Paul consistently weighs around the 200lb mark.

The Irishman has teased a future in the boxing ring, having made his debut against Floyd Mayweather in 2017.

The UFC superstar has two fights remaining on his current deal with the MMA promotion, but has yet to compete since breaking his leg in 2021.

Paul had even suggested he no longer ‘cared’ about a clash with McGregor, despite his plan to even make a debut in the cage.
