Conor McGregor may have found a new opponent for his next boxing match. Originally expected to face Logan Paul, the UFC star is now considering British YouTuber and boxer KSI as a possible contender.
KSI Steps Up to the Challenge
The anticipated fight with Paul was put on hold due to his obligations elsewhere, but KSI was quick to step forward. Responding to reports, KSI said, “Not rumored. I’m very down,” making his interest in facing McGregor clear.

KSI, who has gained recognition in the boxing world through his role in influencer boxing, has spent the past six years building his reputation in the sport. A match against McGregor would present him with his toughest challenge yet.
McGregor still has two fights left in his UFC contract but has expressed interest in exploring opportunities beyond mixed martial arts. By sharing posts about a potential matchup with KSI, McGregor has sparked conversations about the fight.

Both McGregor and KSI have taken extended breaks from competing. McGregor has not been in action for over three years, while KSI last competed more than a year ago.
If this fight happens, it could take place as part of the Visit India campaign in 2025. Reports suggest Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is being considered as the venue, but there has been no official confirmation yet.
This potential match between two widely known personalities from different arenas has already drawn significant interest, promising an intriguing showdown for the sport.
