Jake Paul has challenged Conor McGregor to a boxing match as the social media sensation claimed he is a ‘better boxer’ than the UFC star.

The American YouTuber-turned boxer took to his social media platforms after McGregor said Nate Diaz will ‘slap his head off’ in the pair’s matchup in August.

Paul faces MMA star Diaz in a boxing bout on August 5 in his next fight after losing his 100 percent record to Tommy Fury via a split decision in February.

The ‘Notorious’ told InsideFighting Saturday: ‘I think Nate Diaz slaps the head off of him and I look forward to seeing it.’

Paul called out the Irishman in response on Sunday, writing on his social media platforms: ‘I’m a better boxer than you Conor and will do what you couldn’t and knock Nate out.

McGregor, 34, has not stepped foot inside the octagon since his horrific leg-break against Dustin Poirier in 2021 and he’s put a lot of his focus into his whiskey brand Proper Twelve

‘After Nate let’s box as the co main event same night as Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano in Dublin.

‘But since you’re not your own boss you will hide behind Dana or just drink the rest of your life away. August 5th you will see.’

Serrano backed the fight between the two stars, adding on Twitter: ‘This has to be at Croke Park @MostVpromotions and @EddieHearn. Let’s Get It!’

While Paul’s promotion company said on social media: ‘Katie Taylor is the greatest Irish athlete of all time. Amanda Serrano is the greatest Puerto Rican boxer of all time. The rematch in Ireland is massive.

‘Add Jake Paul and Conor McGregor and you just made the biggest fight event in European history.’

McGregor, 34, has not stepped foot inside the octagon since his horrific leg-break against Dustin Poirier in 2021.

He’s put a lot of his focus into his whiskey brand Proper Twelve.

The Irish whiskey – named after the Crumlin neighborhood Dublin 12 where he grew up – has been straddled to McGregor’s hip since its launch in September 2018.

He has sought to promote the brand whenever possible – whether it be on his Instagram account where he boasts 46.2 million followers, or while promoting his UFC bouts.

McGregor has been seen drinking his whiskey with UFC supremo White during press conferences and has shared a drink with the likes of Justin Bieber and Jose Mourinho.

Paul has regularly called out McGregor in the past and suggested for a fight between the pair.

In 2018, McGregor launched his own whiskey, Proper 12, and has promoted the brand during press conferences and while meeting famous faces like Jose Mourinho
