Conor McGregor Responds to Jake Paul After Anthony Joshua Fight Surgery

Conor McGregor has reacted after Jake Paul's latest announcement following his fight against Anthony Joshua.

In front of a packed crowd at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, on Friday night, Paul and Joshua went to battle inside the ring.

Two-time heavyweight world champion and 2012 Olympic gold medalist Joshua dominated the bout and delivered the telling blow in the sixth round.

Paul was knocked down after being on the end of a brutal right hand from Joshua, with the referee calling the bout off, securing the Brit's victory.

During the aftermath of the fight, it was revealed that Paul had suffered a broken jaw.

The American YouTuber said: "I think my jaw is broken. But that was good, I'll come back and get a world championship belt at some point. We will heal the broken jaw, come back and fight people my weight. I'm going for the cruiserweight world title.

"I'm going to take a little break. I've been going hard for six years. I'll take some time off. This is amazing."

Taking to social media on Saturday, Paul stated that he has successfully had surgery, but will have to make a big change for the next seven days.

Paul wrote: "Just got out of surgery. Everything went smooth. Thanks for all the love. Lots of pain and stiffness. Gotta eat liquids for 7 days.

"S/o to the amazing team at Miami University hospital. Everyone was so gracious and caring. @ArmaniiJayy took amazing care of me with @iam_loriv."

In the comments section, former UFC champion McGregor delivered a four-word message.

The Irishman wrote: "Fair play! Well done."

Speaking after winning, Joshua called out fellow Brit Tyson Fury.

He said: "If Tyson Fury is as serious as he thinks he is, and he wants to put down his Twitter fingers and put on some gloves and come and fight one of the realest fighters out there that will take on any challenge, step into the ring with me next if you’re a real bad boy.

"Don’t do all that talking: "AJ this, AJ that." Let’s see you in the ring and talk with your fists."

However, one big problem is that Fury, as of now, is officially retired, having made the announcement following his defeat by Oleksandr Usyk.
