Jake Paul continued his verbal battle with Conor McGregor at the post-fight press conference for the Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano fight.
The YouTuber-turned boxer, who promotes Serrano, had earlier exchanged insults with McGregor on Twitter after Ireland's Taylor emerged victorious.
Serrano, right, had Taylor badly hurt in round five but ultimately lost
Paul was at the Serrano fight and his glasses were made fun of by McGregor
McGregor initially took to social media to congratulate Taylor on her win before turning his attention to Paul and comparing him to Jimmy Savile, due to his pink sunglasses.
When asked about the Twitter exchange at the post-fight press conference, Paul did not hold back.
"It is what it is," Paul said.
"Of course Conor's watching to support Katie and we have a little bit of banter back and forth, but of course he always has something to say.
"But, he doesn't really have a place to talk, right?
"He hasn't won a fight in five years, [UFC president Dana White] owns him and I'm the one who got Katie Taylor a big payday and that's his hero.
"So, Conor McGregor's not tall enough to ride a rollercoaster and I feel bad for him and he's ducking me, so we'll get that settled one day."
McGregor has been a long-time fan and vocal supporter of Taylor
Paul has been continually calling the Irishman out to fight for the last few years, as he has forged a career in professional boxing.
He has already beaten a few other UFC fighters in Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley, but it seems McGregor is the man Paul really wants in the ring.
Towards the end of 2020, Paul released a video offering McGregor $50 million to fight, but nothing ever materialised.
Perhaps this exchange in the aftermath of Taylor vs Serrano could be the spark that sees these two men finally clash.
