And he has insisted it will be worth the wait as he plans to produce a career-best win over the UFC legend.
But Paul, 25, believes it could come at a price, namely by striking fear into the eyes of long-time rival McGregor, 34.
He told SecondsOut: “I don’t know if it’s a potential fight.
“And I don’t know if he will take that risk after he sees what I’m going to do to Anderson, a southpaw, he’s not going to take that risk.”
McGregor lost his one and only boxing match, against American legend Floyd Mayweather, 45, in 2017.
The Irishman is currently in training for a UFC return having not fought since July 2021 when he broke his leg fighting Dustin Poirier, 33.
Meanwhile Paul last boxed in December, knocking out Tyron Woodley, 40, four months after beating the ex-UFC champion on points.
That added to KOs over online rival AnEsonGib, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 38, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, also 38.

Woodley only filled on under two weeks’ notice after Tommy Fury, 23, pulled out of his grudge match against Paul with a rib injury.
The celeb mega-fight was rescheduled for August in New York – but that was soon KOd when Fury suffered US visa issues.
Heavyweight Hasim Rahman Jr, 31, signed as a substitute, only for lightening to strike twice, this time due to a weight disagreement.
But it has now paved the way for Paul to return in a night where he has vowed to completely outclass Silva, 47.
He said: “I’m going to outbox him every single round so if it goes all eight rounds then it will be a unanimous decision.
“But I think I’ll stop him before then, he just has a lot of wholes in his defence.”

Punching Techniques
There are seven types. Each punch is unique. Some punches need more power than others. For example, an uppercut requires great force. However, a straight punch is much more powerful and faster than other punches.
There are also different combinations. These are combinations made up of several punches that can be used together to achieve one goal. A combination can contain multiple parts. A left hook followed with a right-cross will cause injury to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
A boxer uses his body to protect himself against attacks. He does this by using his legs, arms, elbows, hands, knees and feet.
Legs
To defend against kicks, a boxer should use his legs. If he gets kicked, he raises one leg and turns away from his attacker. If the attacker is coming from the front, he will bend at the knees to avoid getting kicked on either side. However, if the attack comes from behind, he stands up straight and blocks the kick with his foot.
Elbows
Because they inflict pain, elbow strikes can be very effective. An elbow strike may be delivered directly or in an indirect manner. Directly means that your opponent is hit with your forearm. However, indirectly means that your elbow strike is delivered with another part or your arm.
Hands
Boxers use their hands to block incoming blows. To do this, they raise their fists higher than their heads and move their arms in the direction that the attack is coming. They then touch the attackers fist.
Knees
Boxers who are subject to a punch to their stomachs, abdomens, or chests should bend at the knees to absorb the impact. For defense purposes, knee strikes are common.
Feet
When attacked, a boxer should step back and deliver counter-attacks. He can then gain distance from his opponent. In addition, when delivering a counter-attack, a boxer should keep his balance.
Stances
In order to box effectively, a boxer needs to establish a stance. The way he defends himself will be determined by his stance. It dictates how he places his body and faces his opponent. Boxers have many stances to choose from. These are some of our most favorite:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Move your body
To win a fight, a fighter must move around the opponent. This includes changing speed, position and rhythm.
Rotation
To increase his punching power, a boxer rotates when he throws a punch. Depending on the type and size of punch, the speed at which the rotation takes place varies.
Combinations
The timing of each punch determines the effectiveness of a combination. A combination that is effective starts with a strong punch, and ends with one that is weak.
Spare parts
Sparring is a training session that improves boxing skills. Sparring is a training session that helps a boxer train his mind and body. Sparring is a way to learn how to fight without getting hurt.
You need to have patience and dedication in order to learn how boxing works. You need to train hard and long in order to become a better boxer.
