The professional boxer reckons he could win as well, confident in knocking McGregor out ‘first round.’

Speaking to , Paul shared that he’s absolutely serious about taking on McGregor in an MMA (Mixed martial arts) fight, after calling out the Irish sportsman on several occasions in recent years.

He’s also willing to travel to McGregor’s home turf for their showdown, pretty certain he won’t be there for very long.

‘Conor is on a downhill spiral, his limbs are all broken. So, stand-up game, I’m coming out and knocking him out, first round,’ said Paul.

Paul also said he wants to take on McGregor in the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) in a bid to persuade President Dana White to give more of the company’s revenue to fighters.

‘If I win, then Dana has to increase the minimum of fighter pay,’ he said.

‘If I lose, then they can take all of the money and whatever and so be it.’

But, he’s not counting on losing, adding confidently: ‘I know I can beat Conor.’

McGregor has laughed off criticism from Paul in the past, at one point referring to him as a ‘jackass.’

Paul added that, since he and McGregor weigh the same now, he’s considering leaving boxing behind to give their fight his all.

Taking to Twitter to share his reaction to the ‘poor decision,’ Paul suggested that three pairs of two judges – who have to agree on the same score – may be the best way forward for the sport.

‘I think there should be 6 boxing judges for title fights… 3 pairs of 2,’ he wrote.

‘Each pair has to agree on the same score at the end of the round & if they don’t they briefly debate their reasoning… Almost like a jury system.

‘These poor decisions change the shape of the sport forever.’
