McGregor (22-6 MMA, 0-1 boxing) hasn’t taken part in any combat sports event since July 2021 where he lost against Dustin Poirier via TKO due to a leg injury. Since then he’s had more issues outside of the cage than it it.
Paul (0-1 boxing) us the older brother of Disney-actor-turned-boxer Jake Paul. His only professional boxing match was a loss to Olajide Olatunji in 2019. He boxed Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition match in 2021 that was ruled a draw.
Following that he boxed Dillon Danis in another exhibition match where he won due to Danis being disqualified. The DQ was issued due to unsportsmanlike conduct on the part of Danis.
Paul’s camp hasn’t released any statements as of this post.
