JAKARTA UFC boss Dana White has dismissed reports of a boxing fight between Conor McGregor and Logan Paul which is rumored to be taking place in India.
McGregor was the first to reveal he was in the process of negotiating an exhibition fight against the YouTube star.
Dana White, who had been silent so far, finally spoke up about the duel. He emphasized that McGregor's next duel took place in the octagon and not in the boxing ring.
"No (against Logan Paul). Hopefully Conor McGregor will return (to the octagon) in the fall," he said in the Pardon My Take podcast quoted by The Sun.
The billionaire family from India, Mukesh Ambani, is said to be behind the idea. According to reports, McGregor and Logan will each get 200 million from this duel.

Irish McGregor has not fought since July 2021. He last dueled Dustin Poirier, a fight that broke his leg in the first round.
He then made a scene on social media for uploading a duel plan with Logan Paul in mid-December 2024.
"I am in the initial agreement with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in an exhibition boxing match in India. I have agreed," he wrote that.
McGregor was previously rescheduled for June 2024 against Michael Chandler. However, the duel was eventually canceled due to a toe injury he suffered.
