Logan Paul has accused Conor McGregor of having drug problems as he continues to tease a boxing match with the Irishman. We all know Conor McGregor to be an eccentric individual. He does what he wants when he wants. In equal measure, though, he’s also the biggest star in mixed martial arts, and that’s been the case for many years now. There are always going to be people calling him out, which is just the nature of the gig.

It would be a massive fight as both men are big stars in their respective sports.

Francis Ngannou believes his boxing match with Tyson Fury will only up the stakes for a future Jon Jones fight. The 36-year-old Ngannou was the reigning UFC Heavyweight Champion from March 2021 until early 2023. Ngannou parted ways with the promotion after being unable to come to terms with a new contract. It was only then that the title was vacated.

Nate Diaz has seemingly shut down talk of having a mixed martial arts rematch with Jake Paul in the future. Earlier this month, Nate Diaz competed against Jake Paul in his professional boxing debut. Unfortunately for the king of Stockton, it didn’t go his way, and Paul came out with a fairly one-sided decision win.

Don’t expect to see Canelo Alvarez boxing former UFC champion Conor McGregor anytime soon. ‘The Notorious’ is currently on the comeback trail, having been out of action for over two years.

Although UFC president Dana White isn’t directly involved in boxing, that isn’t to say that he has his favorites. This observation can be noted when discussing “King” Callum Walsh, one of the brightest young prospects in the sport. Dana White has been an avid supporter of Callum Walsh since the middle of 2022, where he has been regularly seen attending Walsh’s fights, including his most recent stoppage of Wesley Tucker in the spring. The victory makes Walsh unbeaten in his last seven fights, and White is keen on ensuring the 21-year-old’s trajectory stays consistent.

Four years after suffering a first-round stoppage loss to ‘Darth’, the rematch went the same way. In the main event of Bellator 290, Fedor Emelianenko suffered a first-round knockout loss.
