Paulie Malignaggi believes Jake Paul would knock Conor McGregor out, if the pair were to ever face each other in a boxing ring.

Paul will clash with MMA legend Nate Diaz in a boxing match on 5 August, but has repeatedly called out McGregor for a future match-up.

So far the Irishman has refused to indulge in any meeting with the YouTuber-turned-boxer, although he's been quick to stoke the fires between the two by refusing to call Paul by his name interviews - going as far as to call him a 'donkey' in a recent chat with Matchroom Boxing.

However, if the two outspoken personalities did ever meet in the squared circle, former WBA welterweight champion Malignaggi is backing Logan Paul to come out on top.

'I think Jake Paul would knock Conor out'. Malignaggi said speaking to Betway.
