KSI Says He's 'Very Down' to Fight Conor McGregor After Logan Paul's WWE Comments

Conor McGregor's next move in the world of combat sports remains unclear, but another potential opponent threw his hat in the ring to face him.

After it appeared that McGregor's rumored boxing match against WWE Superstar Logan Paul in India had fallen through, music artist-turned-boxer KSI took to social media to make it clear that he's serious about facing the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion:

KSI also posted a story on his Instagram that mentioned McGregor with the caption, "Let's make this a reality."

McGregor, who hasn't fought in UFC since July 2021 when he suffered a broken ankle in his second straight loss to Dustin Poirier, caused a stir last month when he declared that he was delaying his return to the Octagon because he was "in preliminary agreements" to face Paul in an exhibition boxing match in India.

However, Paul appeared to shut down the possibility of meeting McGregor in the Octagon earlier this week. In a pre-taped vignette that aired during Monday Night Raw's premiere on Netflix, Paul claimed that he's committed to being a full-time WWE Superstar, saying, "And now I'm dedicating my life to this. No more side hustle. No more bulls--t. One hundred percent WWE Superstar. This is the beginning of the era of Logan Paul."

Since Paul appears to be unavailable, McGregor will need another big-name opponent if he hopes to achieve another massive payday. KSI, who has a 5-1-1 professional record in boxing, is popular enough to draw some attention if he gets his wish to face McGregor.
