Amir Khan Picks McGregor To Beat Logan Paul

Amir Khan has backed Conor McGregor to beat Logan Paul if they ever faced off in a boxing ring.
According to reports, McGregor is in discussions about facing Logan at an exhibition in India. It would be his first boxing fight since 2017, when Floyd Mayweather stopped him in the 10th round. McGregor’s last fight in any combat sports form was in 2021, when he lost to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. That continued a poor run of results with his third defeat out of his last four fights. He also broke his leg, which has kept him out since then. McGregor has been trying desperately to make his UFC come back, having agreed to face Michael Chandler at UFC 303 on June 29.
However, the Irishman withdrew from the fight after breaking his toe. He then announced he would be fighting Dan Hooker on February 1. But that is unlikely following the recent sexual civil lawsuit, which found McGregor liable, as he was ordered to pay Nikita Hand approximately $258,000. Logan has been much more active in the fight game. He has four boxing fights under his belt, the latest of which was against Dillon Danis.
Logan also recently confirmed his return to WWE, stating that he will be back on January 6. Logan is the favorite with the bookies to beat McGregor. But Khan does not see it that way. He felt that Logan was beatable, even if he may be heavier. Khan said Jake Paul, Logan’s brother, was the better boxer out of the two. Khan also revealed that Jake is a better fight for McGregor. This fight would probably earn him more money.
Khan Reacts
“That’s not a bad fight for Conor because Conor is actually a big guy. When I stood against him, he’s only 10 pounds heavier than me normally, not fighting weight. But he is massive, he’s thick. So, I think he must walk into the ring around about 175, anyway. If that fight’s made at heavyweight, I think Conor could be fine. If you look at Logan’s Mayweather fight, he went into the ring and beat him, so I’m sure Conor could do the same. I don’t think Logan is as good as Jake [Paul]. I think Jake’s the better one out of them two,” Khan said
Jake has managed to build a huge following. He is coming off a victory against Mike Tyson by a unanimous decision. The fight earned him a reported $40 million. Paul has now become a cash cow in the sport, allowing people to earn the biggest purses of their careers. While McGregor is not short of money, he has suffered financial consequences because of that lawsuit. The Hitman video game franchise and the Proper No. 12 Irish Whiskey Brand no longer work with McGregor. Airports in Cork and Dublin have also said they will not stock his drinks. So if McGregor is going through any financial issues, a Logan Paul or Jake fight would ease those worries.
