“As a fan of fighting,” Khabib’s Team Coach Javier Mendez Shares His Thoughts On McGregor vs Logan Paul Fight

Conor McGregor will return to the combat sports in a mega-money boxing match against Logan Paul. The two will likely clash at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai in 2025. The combat sports community is amazed by the news that Conor McGregor will make nearly $250 million with the match, and so will the WWE star Logan Paul. Conor McGregor is a known figure in combat sports and has millions of fans around the world. The Irish star’s stardom surpassed any other MMA star’s popularity by several miles, and fans are excited to see the two in the boxing ring.

However, Khabib’s team’s long-time coach, Javier Mendez, is not interested in watching the two boxes as, according to him, it would have made more sense if Logan’s brother Jake Paul got the opportunity to fight Conor McGregor in a boxing match.

“That’s going to be a bomb. His brother hasn’t won a freaking boxing match. Give me a break. How’s that gonna go? What’s Logan Paul’s fight record? They should do WWE. They’re great entertainers. A real fight? It’s no good. That [Conor vs. Jake] is the fight I’d rather watch. But not with Logan. Zero interest from me, as a fan of fighting. So people want to be entertained? Yes. I think Logan Paul can deliver that. And he will fight.”

Speaking further, he explained that Logan Paul is a good entertainer but not a good boxer, though he had boxing matches against veterans like Floyd Mayweather Jr, but that doesn’t make him a good one in the eyes of Javier Mendez.

He’s just not technically good. Logan Paul is very charismatic, [a] very truthful guy. And I like him. But I’m not gonna say he’s a good boxer. He’s not. I’m not going to say he’s a good fighter. He’s not. But I will say he’s a good athlete. Yes. He’s a very good athlete. I’ve seen his attributes. But he just doesn’t take fighting serious is all I’m saying. So when you don’t take fighting serious, fighting doesn’t produce the results you’d like.
