Jake Paul offers update on potential Conor McGregor fight

Watch the Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz replay on DAZN

Jake Paul has shut down any possibilities of facing Conor McGregor in a fight in the near future.

Paul returned to winning ways on Saturday night when he beat Nate Diaz via a unaminous decision in Dallas.

While Diaz did cause a few problems for Paul, it was "The Problem Child" who dominated and even managed to produce a knockdown in the fifth.

Following the victory, a number of names have been mentioned as possible future opponents for Paul including McGregor, but 'The Problem Child' was quick to dismiss a potential meeting with the Irishman.

"I don't care about that guy [Conor McGregor]," Paul stated at the post fight press conference.

"He needs to go to rehab. I want Nate in MMA. I want more professional boxers and I want Canelo."

Instead, a rematch with Diaz could be next for Paul, but instead of taking place in a boxing ring, there is a chance it could be staged inside a cage after the 26-year-old received a $10m offer to make his MMA debut.
