Training partner Kiefer Crosbie shuts down Jake Paul's hopes of a fight with McGregor
Conor McGregor's longtime training partner, Kiefer Crosbie, has dismissed Jake Paul's dreams of stepping in the ring with the UFC superstar. However, Crosbie isn't afraid to take on the YouTube-turned-boxer himself.
"I'm Ready to Shut Him Up," says Crosbie
Crosbie, who has been training alongside McGregor for years, confidently stated, "I'd smoke Jake Paul, I'd smoke him." The Irish fighter is tired of Paul's constant calling out of McGregor and believes it's time someone put him in his place.
But Will Paul Accept the Challenge?
Despite Crosbie's willingness to face him, he doubts Paul would ever agree to the fight. "He'd go after a bigger name with less skills," Crosbie explained. According to him, Paul is more interested in chasing fame and clout than actually stepping into the ring with a formidable opponent.
A Reality Check for Paul
Crosbie believes that Paul's aspirations to fight the likes of Canelo Alvarez and Conor McGregor are just a ploy for attention. "He knows those fights will never happen and he'd never win them fights," Crosbie stated. He emphasizes that Paul's two or three years in the sport are no match for a lifelong dedication to fighting.
Paul's Track Record
Although Jake Paul suffered his first defeat against Tommy Fury earlier this year, he has maintained his confidence and desire for bigger challenges. After snubbing a rematch with Fury, Paul is set to face Nate Diaz on August 5th. Despite their history in the octagon, Diaz's connection to McGregor does not faze Paul.
"Conor McGregor is on a Different Level," says Crosbie
Crosbie understands why every fighter wants a shot at McGregor, but he believes calling him out is foolish. "There's levels to this game," Crosbie emphasized. He acknowledges McGregor's status as one of the greatest combat sports athletes of all time and sees Jake Paul's attempts as mere clickbait.
Conor McGregor and Kiefer Crosbie are known for their friendship and training partnership, which only strengthens Crosbie's loyalty to his mentor. While the world waits to see if Jake Paul will ever face a worthy opponent, Crosbie remains ready and willing to prove himself against the controversial YouTuber-turned-boxer.
