    Paul revealed he found the insult funny but absolutely butchered an attempt at impersonating the UFC legend.
    He said on Logan’s Impaulsive podcast: “I think Conor McGregor is funny as f***.
    “Like when I watch him talk shit about me and he’s like, ‘Oh yeah, that lad he’s a bit windy. He’s a bit windy and he’s a f*****g donkey.’ 
    “I don’t know how to do it, but I’m like, Yeah, bro. But guess what Conor? I’d beat the f*****g f*** out of you and you can’t box as good as me.

    “I’m going to do to Nate what you couldn’t which is knock him the f*** out and you’re going to be sitting there with your new beer company – that’s is failing – drinking it, drunk as f***, realising that you p****d your life away drinking at the end of the bottle. 
    “And you’re gonna say, ‘Damn, I really thought no one was going to do what I did in this sport, I really thought no one was going to be as big of a name, I really thought I was going to be the biggest forever.’ 
    “But you can’t choose and you can’t have both lives.” 
    Paul, 26, has continued to call out McGregor, 34, ever since his professional boxing debut in 2020.

    He returns against McGregor’s ex-opponent Diaz, 38, in Texas just six months after suffering his first loss, to Tommy Fury, 24.
    Meanwhile, McGregor is set to make his UFC comeback this year against Michael Chandler, 37, after two years out with injury.
    The former two-weight champion has boxed just once before, losing to American great Floyd Mayweather in 2017.
    But he needed special permission from the UFC to do so as Paul took a swipe at McGregor and Dana White.
    He said: “That money fight will always be there and when I knock Nate Diaz the f*** out and you realise I’m the biggest fight for you, call me. 
    “And I’ll answer, and I’m my own boss, I make my own decisions.
    “I’m not controlled by Dana White, I don’t have a dad so I can make the fight happen. 
    “But if Dana lets you make the fight happen then we can run it.”

    I embarrassed Conor McGregor in sparring ahead of Floyd Mayweather fight but the footage will NEVER be released

    PAULIE MALIGNAGGI claimed he embarrassed Conor McGregor in sparring – which is why he believes the full footage will never be released. The feud between the two started in the build up to McGregor’s lucrative crossover boxing bout with Floyd Mayweather in 2017.

    Paulie Malignaggi would storm out of Conor McGregor’s camp
    Malignaggi ripped into the Irishman’s chances, which resulted in him being offered the chance to join the UFC superstar’s camp.
    The former world champion boxer sparred twice, but after leaked images and footage emerged, he stormed out of the camp.
    One clip included Malignaggi being put down, which the American argued was caused by a push not a punch.
    It has kept the rivalry alive to this day with no sign of the full sparring sessions ever being revealed.

    Malignaggi, 42, told Betway: “I give Conor credit because he also knows his fanbase has a very low IQ.
    “He knows he can play them if he wants to – and he does.  So I don’t think we will ever get the real footage of the spar.
    “I actually know you’ll never get the real footage because the real footage embarrasses Conor.
    “So you’ll probably still continue to have these opinions of it.”

    Malignaggi – retired from boxing during the spars – later lost to McGregor’s ex-training partner Artem Lobov, 36, in a bare-knuckle bout.
    Meanwhile McGregor, 34, was beaten by Mayweather, 46, in ten rounds of what was his pro boxing debut.
    And after sharing the ring with him, Malignaggi knew the result was inevitable ahead of time.
    He said: “Coming out of that spar I thought this has got to be the biggest money heist in the history of money.
    “This guy is so terrible and he’s going to fight Mayweather, probably the best boxer in the history of the sport.
    “Even though he’s retired, Mayweather is going to beat this guy with his eyes closed. And that’s basically how it went. He played with them.”
