Conor McGregor says fight against 'confused little kid' Jake Paul not on his radar

Conor McGregor is not interested in fighting Jake Paul, but has backed his teammate to take on the YouTuber.

Paul has been calling for a boxing bout with the UFC star for months and claims to have offered McGregor $50million to step into the ring with him.

But the Dubliner does not appear to have any interest in fighting the 24-year-old anytime soon.

McGregor told BT Sport: “You know, that is what it is.

“We’ll see what happens, he seems like a confused little kid to me, to be honest.

“He’s willing to get in there, I don’t know what’ll happen, it’s not on the radar at the minute with the young lad.

“I know, I have a teammate [Dylan Moran] – him and Dylan have been back-and-forth, so you never know.”

Paul, who has won his two professional boxing bouts to date, has told McGregor that April 17 is the last chance for a fight between them to happen.

The YouTuber said: "Conor, look, this is your last chance, Conor. If it’s not you, that $50 million offer goes away.

"That offer’s gonna go away, so this is sort of your last chance. That’s the highest you’ve ever been offered for a fight. Otherwise we’re gonna move on and get a different opponent."
