Anthony Taylor believes Jake Paul facing Conor McGregor would be the biggest boxing event of all time.  

The former opponent of Tommy Fury returns to the ring on November 13th when he goes up against Jack Fincham on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather’s exhibition with Deji, and with Jake Paul set to be in attendance, Taylor has spoken about the popular YouTuber’s pulling power. 

Following his win against Anderson Silva last month, Paul has plenty of options moving forward with numerous names such as Fury, KSI, and Hasim Rahman Jr all linked.  

With all the aforementioned names likely to provide Paul with yet another huge event, Taylor believes stepping into the ring with McGregor would be boxing’s highest drawing fight. 

"What Jake is doing in boxing is fantastic, not only for himself but the fighters he's helping, and also pushing forwards the women's game,” said Taylor when speaking to Vegas Insider

“The right opponent for him next is Conor McGregor at a catchweight. We know Conor has a taste for an exhibition, so why not face Jake in the boxing ring. It's the biggest fight in boxing.  

“Conor McGregor versus Jake Paul would surpass all of Mayweather PPVs. It will break all time PPV records. It would be the highest grossing fight in all of boxing history."
