And he is so eager to fight the Irishman that he has even offered to do it in the MMA cage.

McGregor is building towards a UFC return having been out since July 2021 when he broke his leg.

And his manager Audi Attar is open to the prospect of a blockbuster with Paul after the former two-weight UFC champion makes his return.

Attar told Fox: “I think anything’s always possible. You never say never. It’s all about how things line up.

“I think the challenge with combat sports is looking that far ahead. You never say never.

“Getting back into the octagon is step one, going in and handling business there.

“Then, not looking past that, but then, obviously, when you get past that, look at your options and see what’s next.”

Paul this year signed with the Professional Fighters League, a rival promotion to the UFC which is set to host his MMA debut.

But first, he returns on Friday, December 15 against 10-1-1 boxer Andre August, 35, in Florida.

Paul, 26, suffered defeat for the first time in February losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury, 24, in Saudi Arabia.

The American bounced back in August by beating ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, over ten rounds in a performance slammed by McGregor.

He posted on X: “That was abysmal last night, Paul is a r****d, absolute garbage he is.

“Moving backwards like I was watching a fight in rewind. Holy garbage. Embarrassing stuff all round in my opinion.”

In the post-fight press conference, Paul snubbed McGregor, 35, as he said: “I don’t care about that guy…

“I want Nate in MMA. I want more professional boxers and I want Canelo.”
