Jake Paul calls out Conor McGregor for crossover fight in further Tommy Fury blow

Jake Paul has called out Conor McGregor for a potential crossover fight as their rivalry continues to heat up. Paul has called out the UFC superstar on numerous occasions, with the YouTuber-turned-boxer looking to set up a big money encounter. Over the last few years, McGregor has established himself as one of the biggest draw's in combat sports.

Paul said: "White is begging for Diaz and Conor
