Conor McGregor and Dillon Danis called out by Jake Paul after Youtube star's win over Nate Robinson

Conor McGregor has been called out by Youtube star Jake Paul.

The American, 23, knocked out Nate Robinson on the undercard of Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The former NBA star was knocked down once in the first round and then again in the second.

He beat the count on both occasions but looked in no fit state to continue.

Paul called out a number of people after the win, including McGregor, Dillon Danis and his own brother Logan Paul.

He said: “I’ve been training my ass off for the past year. I’m taking this seriously.

“There’s a long list of opponents that I want — Conor McGregor, Dillon Danis. I’m going to knock them both out.

“There’s my brother, KSI on the line, Austin McBroom. I want to be in this sport for a long time. I’m in love with it so why not?”

Paul claimed that he has found the right career after the victory in Los Angeles.

He added: “For me, my whole life has been a fight.

“So fighting — it’s something that I’m great at. Being from Ohio, a small town and making my way to Los Angeles to fame and success and just fighting for it.

"People never believing in me, people hating me — being one of the most hated people in the world. I have to fight through that, it’s not easy.

"So this is the perfect sport. I’ve found my lane."
