Watch Jake Paul vs. Mike Perry live on DAZN
Jake Paul has angrily hit out at Conor McGregor after the UFC star called him a 'dweeb' and backed Mike Perry ahead of their fight this weekend.
Paul and Perry will clash on DAZN this coming Saturday, and In an interview this week, McGregor backed Perry but also belittled the social media star.
It's not the first time the Irishman and Paul had traded verbal blows, and in response to McGregor's latest dig, Paul sent a message to the UFC fighter during the pre-match press conference - and even challenged him to a fight.
He said: "First of all, he's big upping the BKFC but you're going to see what I do to their best fighter on Saturday night. I'm going to embarrass their whole entire league.
"This guy has no skill, these are just brawler, idiot, street fighter dudes who have no idea what the sweet science is. Conor McGregor can say what he wants but he won't fight me either.
"Once I knock out Mike Perry, McGregor let's do it, but you won't run it because you know what's going to happen, you saw what I did to Nate Diaz who I went toe-to-toe with.
"So Conor McGregor: lay off the cocaine, get in the gym, start winning fights and then maybe we can have a conversation."
