Jake Paul has been vying for a fight against Conor McGregor for a long time now. At a recent press conference, 'The Problem Child' spoke about possibly fighting the Irishman in the next 36 or 48 months.

Speaking to the press, Paul said:

"Its' very real, I think the fight happens in the next 48 months or 36 months for sure. It makes financial sense... You know at this point, he needs me more than I need him."

The YouTuber-turned-boxer went on to comment further on McGregor.

"He's [Conor McGregor's] a f**king loser, he's a drunk motherf**ker running around with his bull sh*t, cheating on his wife... doing all this crazy sh*t. So you know the guy is a mess, you know he hasn't won in four years or something. So like I said, he needs me more than I need him"
