Tommy Fury has hit out at KSI and Logan Paul in a social media post calling for UFC fighter Conor McGregor to face him in the boxing ring.

The unbeaten boxer was originally scheduled to fight former UFC fighter Darren Till at a misfits event next week but pulled out over fears Till wouldn't follow professional boxing rules in the fight.

Instead, Till will face popular misfits boxer Anthony Taylor in Manchester's Co-Op Arena, with Fury yet to announce his next opponent, despite promising fans that he would "get a better opponent and better fight."

But now, it would appear that Fury has his eyes set on a superfight with McGregor, after he took to social media to call out the Irish UFC fighter.

In December, rumours began circulating that McGregor was scheduled to fight YouTuber Logan Paul, just weeks after the MMA fighter was found liable for the assault of a woman in civil court case in Dublin.

However, shortly after news broke that McGregor may instead by fighting Paul's Prime business partner KSI, after the American decided to step away from the fight to instead focus on his wrestling career in the WWE.

But Fury has taken to social media to claim that he should be the man that McGregor faces, writing on X: "@TheNotoriousMMA don’t waste your time with beaten fighters. Fight the man who’s beaten them all and still has his 0. I’ll be waiting…"

The rumoured purse for McGregor's original fight with Paul, which was reportedly being financed by Indian billionaire Anant Ambani, would see both fighters earn an incredible £200million ($250m).

“The rumours of a bout with topurio are false,” McGregor posted to X.

“I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India.

"I have agreed. I will then seek my return to the Octagon."

The Irishman has also expressed an interest in fighting British YouTuber KSI on several occasions, even storming into the ring after Anthony Joshua's knockout victory over Robert Helenious in August 2023 to call out the influencer.

But now Fury is attempting to put himself next in line for a shot at the former UFC champion, after beating both KSI and Jake Paul, the younger brother of Logan, in 2023.
