Logan Paul has leaked an apparent phone call from Conor McGregor over their proposed mega-fight as he made a controversial comment about UFC boss Dana White.

McGregor hasn't fought since his crushing defeat to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 back in July 2021.

He was scheduled to return to action last summer when he was matched against Michael Chandler.

But he was forced to withdraw after suffering a toe injury.

However, a comeback to the fight game has been rumoured in the shape of a lucrative cross-over bout against WWE star Paul, who has fought the likes of Floyd Mayweather and KSI in his boxing career.

But UFC CEO White has shut down the idea of McGregor facing Paul inside a boxing ring.

Asked if the 'Notorious' would fight in the UFC in 2025, he told Pardon My Take podcast: "Eventually," before dismissing a clash against Paul or KSI: "'No, no. Hopefully Conor McGregor returns in the fall."

But Paul is pushing for a showdown against McGregor, who seems to be onboard, too.

The American revealed his rival's feelings towards a fight against him by leaking a supposed phone call from the Irishman.

In a clip posted on his YouTube channel, McGregor is believed to have said: "This can happen my man... for real. This can and will happen."

After leaking the phone call, Paul told WWE writer Rob Fee: "If Conor McGregor wants to fight, we are running it.

"It’s an epic fight. It would be something I would step away from WWE for a second to go do. $250 million, Rob. $250 million, Rob.

"I have to take that. Unless Nick Khan matches that, I’ll stay in the WWE. I think he’s trying to pressure Dana [White] into making it happen because he’s owned by the UFC.

"Like, he can’t do f**king sh*t, let alone fight without them knowing."
