Conor McGregor told to give up alcohol as Jake Paul labels UFC star 'Irish idiot'

Conor McGregor has been told to give up the booze as celebrity boxer Jake Paul labelled the UFC star an 'Irish idiot'.

The two have been locked in a war of words in recent months, with YouTube sensation Paul setting his sights on McGregor as the Notorious one continues to recover from a broken ankle.

McGregor has been living the high life in Los Angeles in recent months after his July defeat to Dustin Poirier, but notably has earned just one win inside the Octagon since his 2016 defeat of Eddie Alvarez.

And Paul, who's currently in talks to fight up and coming star Tommy Fury later this year, had some harsh words for McGregor in a recent interview.

“If Conor was my client I would say stop drinking you Irish idiot,” Paul told talkSPORT.

“Put the bottle down, put the bottle down and get some Ws! And those fake teeth are ugly as f***.”

Paul is undefeated after swapping social media for the boxing ring, picking up notable wins over MMA stars Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley.

However, he's intent on facing the Notorious one in the not too distant future in what could be a money-spinning fight.
