Conor McGregor's teammate Dillon Danis has continued his pursuit of a fight with Jake Paul and has vowed to retire if he suffers KO defeat.
YouTube star Paul has made the latest successful step in his professional boxing career defeating Tyron Woodley in a rematch with a brutal stoppage.
Paul has been called out by a number of potential opponents including Danis who was set to meet Paul in 2020 but was forced to pull out with injury.
Now McGregor's teammate has made an ultimatum in his latest bid to secure a fight, tweeting : "If Jake Paul sleeps me I will retire forever."
Danis' rivalry with the YouTuber coordinated with his early rise in boxing and is notorious for his trolling personality on Twitter even calling out Francis Ngannou.
However he is yet to compete since his last fight in Bellator during 2019 against Max Humphrey which he won, but he is yet to fight since due to his struggles with a knee injury.
Paul began his rivalry with Danis after his infamous water drive-by attack that went viral on social media and led to increased tensions over a boxing match.
However Paul recently rubbished any chances of the pair meeting in the ring together branding his pursuit a chase of "clout" as he moves on to other names in boxing and UFC.
This include Danis' teammate McGregor who is currently out of action in the UFC after suffering back-to-back defeats against Poirier.
Paul reiterated his desire to face the promotion's biggest names including McGregor with a fight between the pair expected to generate huge interest, in a similar vein to the Irishman's clash with Floyd Mayweather.
McGregor has claimed that he currently weighs around 190lbs as he continues his recovery from injury showing off a new jacked physique in training.
Any fight could take place at a similar weight which could help bridge a significant size gap for the pair to make an illustrious meeting in the iron square.

UFC president Dana White has been embroiled in a bitter feud with Paul and McGregor currently holds two fights remaining on his contract with White's promotion.
The YouTube star believes this could provide a significant obstacle to any showdown with McGregor despite including him on his planned goals for 2022.
"I think Dana White is obstacle No.1," Paul explained during an episode of In Depth with Graham Bensinger when asked about the possible fight.
"If Dana would ever let Conor out of his contract to set up the boxing match, I think that's what is needed to make it happen.
"And I think that will, I think it will happen and if Conor is going to just continue to lose fights - he's 1-4 in the past five years - then there's not much Dana will be able to do with him anyway.
"So cash him out one more time, but his manager is good friends with my manager and another one of my advisors and they talk constantly about making it happen."
