Conor McGregor plans to return in a boxing exhibition against Logan Paul (Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Conor McGregor<\/a> claims he has agreed a boxing exhibition fight with Logan Paul in India.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old has not fought competitively since suffering back-to-back defeats in UFC to Dustin Poirier in 2021.<\/p>\n

Last month, McGregor was ordered to pay more than \u20ac248,000 (\u00a3206,000) in damages to Nikita Hand after a 12-person jury in Dublin found he had assaulted her in a hotel after a party in 2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n

McGregor has also been ordered to pay the entire legal costs of the civil case, estimated at \u20ac1.5 million (\u00a31.24m).<\/p>\n

The Irish mixed martial arts fighter has been dropped by multiple companies since losing the civil case, including Proximo Spirits, the owner of Irish whiskey brand Proper No. 12.<\/p>\n

McGregor has denied rumours of a comeback fight against Ilia\u00a0Topuria, a Georgian and Spanish professional mixed martial artist, and has revealed that he plans to return with an exhibition fight against Logan Paul.<\/p>\n

‘The rumours of a bout with [Topuria] are false,’ McGregor wrote on X on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

‘I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambrani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India. I have agreed.’<\/p>\n

‘I will then seek my return to the Octagon.’<\/p>\n

Logan Paul has had two professional boxing fights in his career so far. He beat retired MMA fighter Dillon Danis in 2023 and lost to fellow YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI in 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old also faced former world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr in an exhibition fight in 2021.<\/p>\n

Paul has also starred in WWE, although last week he claimed he has now’retired’ from professional wrestling<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Paul’s younger brother, Jake, beat Mike Tyson in their fight which was streamed live on Netflix last month<\/a>.<\/p>\n
