    But Paul has hit back with a video of himself imitating the Irishman’s insult, in which he wrestled in the sand, performed a bear crawl and did some clapping incline push-ups in the rain before teeing off on the golf course.
    His accompanying caption read: “While I’m training MMA, the @TheNotoriousMMA is drinking Jack Daniels in Dubai putting up sloppy boxing videos. Jackass.”
    Problem Child Paul has been chasing a blockbuster showdown with McGregor for the last 15 months – regularly taunting the UFC’s poster boy on social media.
    And he’s sent yet another plea to fight the Irishman to UFC president Dana White on Twitter.

    On Saturday, the former Disney star wrote: “Dana – Since you like me now, how about a 1 fight UFC deal to fight Conor.
    “If I win, you agree to my UFC fighter pay and healthcare proposal.
    “If I lose I donate my entire purse to all UFC fighters who make less than $50K a fight and never mention UFC again Deal?”
    Paul, 25, scored a viral sixth-round KO victory over ex-UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley in their rematch last December.

    And the multi-millionaire is confident he’d do a number on the out-of-form Notorious, saying: “I would KO Conor in boxing or MMA. “Right hand of God.”
    Paul hasn’t set foot inside the ring since his demolition of Woodley but is seemingly eyeing a September return.
    McGregor, meanwhile, is in the final stages of recovering from the horrific broken leg he suffered last July but is eyeing a summer return.
    He recently told SecondsOut: “I would like [to return at] International Fight Week. But we’ll see, though. I’ve got to take it day by day.
    “April they said I’d be back sparring, back twisting and turning.
    “I was told I could box a couple of months back and then all of sudden, I couldn’t box.

    Jake Paul shows off 13-man ‘hit-list’ with Conor McGregor, Tommy Fury and his own brother Logan Paul named

    JAKE PAUL revealed his 13-man boxing ‘hit-list’ which includes Conor McGregor, Tommy Fury and his own brother Logan Paul. The YouTube sensation already has online rival ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren ticked off.
    Jake Paul’s boxing ‘hit-list’
    Jake Paul names his boxing ‘hit-list’
    And Paul will look to add to that on August 29, in his fourth and toughest fight to date against ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley.
    He took to Instagram to then add, Canelo Alvarez, Nate Diaz or Nick DiazKamaru Usman, Fury, McGregor, KSI, Gervonta Davis and brother Logan.
    Speaking to SunSport days before the social media post, Paul revealed the list grows after each fight, and has some unnamed rivals yet to be included.
    He said: “It sort of changes and moulds as I go fight by fight.
    “But I guess, Canelo Alvarez, Kamaru Usman, Conor McGregor, Nate Diaz, you know, KSI will always be on that list, be who knows what will happen there.
    “Tommy Fury’s on that list, I feel like I’m forgetting names but there’s some fighters I’m thinking of right now that I don’t even want to mention as it’s not worth giving them the clout to.
    “I think after this fight, I’m going to go back to the drawing board and re-up the list and actually write it down, that’s a good idea.”

    Paul, 24, did go back to the drawing board – quite literally a white one – as he listed his dream opponents.
    Canelo, 31, is boxing’s current pound-for-pound No1 and a four-weight champion.
    But the Mexican legend should never be in the ring with anyone not of championship calibre.
    Brothers Nate, 36, and Nick, 37, are both veterans of the UFC who have hinted at crossing over to the boxing ring before.
    SunSport understands with Nate left with just one fight on his UFC contract, talks with Paul’s camp have taken place.
    So too had Usman, 34, but a deal is unlikely to be agreed with the UFC welterweight champion one of the promotion’s leading stars.
    For the same reason it makes any negotiations with McGregor, 33, difficult, with the Irishman refusing to even acknowledge Paul.
    ROAD TO FURY
    One man who is though is Fury, 22, brother to heavyweight champion Tyson, 33.
    The 6-0 light-heavyweight had feuded with Paul online and even signed a two-fight deal with the American’s broadcasters Showtime.
    Fury will feature on his rival’s undercard this month and a win for both is expected to line them up with a pay-per-view fight of their own.
    Also on the list is YouTube foe KSI, 28, who beat Paul’s brother Logan, 26, in 2019 by spilt-decision.
    But the Brit is yet to return to the ring, with a grudge match between the two growing less likely.
    A surprise name mentioned was Gervonta Davis, 26, who is still a super-featherweight champion.
    The end-game now is to become a world champion, just to say I did it because everyone said I couldn’t.Jake Paul
    That means Paul is FOUR STONE heavier Davis, a protege of Floyd Mayweather’s.
    And lastly both the Paul brothers have talked up a fight between them, despite their parents opposing the idea.
    Paul explained his A-list of opponents is all part of his masterplan to eventually upset the odds and become an unlikely world champion.
    He said: “The end-game now is to become a world champion, just to say I did it because everyone said I couldn’t.
    “To get a world championship belt and to make history and leave an everlasting impact on this sport, create amazing events, and cards and fights that people remember forever.
    “And to retire on top.”
