Paul is itching to fight McGregor after getting off to a perfect start in his professional boxing career.

Ohio-born Paul scored wins over YouTuber AnEsonGib, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson and former UFC champions Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley.

On Paul’s win over Woodley, McGregor told The Mirror: “Who knows? Never say never.”

He added: “I didn’t see the Woodley fight. It only did a couple thousand buys. I saw it online.”

McGregor may return to the octagon before the square circle.

UFC legend Michael Bisping says McGregor could knock out champion Charles Oliveira.

He said on Joe Rogan’s podcast: “The reality is, Conor’s best days are long gone, probably. You can’t stay at the top forever.

“I’ll tell you this, if there’s a person that you’d put him against in the top five to beat, it would be Charles Oliveira. 

“Charles is hittable and Conor can still f***ing hit. He’s fast and Charles is hittable.

“I’m just saying, there’s a potential that Conor comes back, beats Charles Oliveira and becomes champion again. 

“That is — I don’t think I can deal with the world if that happens. Oh my god.

“But it might happen. He’s still got that left hand, he’s still got power and speed.”
