“Dear Conor, I know you told my team you would fight me at 170lbs,” the 27-year-old penned.

“That’s never happening. But let’s run it in MMA. No weight class. Just like how it used to be done. But you won’t.”

His message to McGregor comes after he received backlash for a now-deleted tweet about Paul and Tyson’s fight.

Appearing to make reference to the 31 year age gap and Tyson having long been out of the game, McGregor jeered that Prichard Colon might be Paul’s next opponent.

People were quick to brand McGregor’s remarks as ‘f***ed up’ before the tweet was quickly taken down.

Elsewhere, Paul mocked Gervonta Davis who has seemingly challenged him to a fight.

Davis taunted the YouTuber via his Instagram Story, writing: “To that bozo who shared the ring with Mike, you a whole bozo for this and you didn’t get the job done… One more thing, I’ma beat the brakes off Jake when I catch em… Upper cut, jab, jab, left hook, upper cut, hook. Watch.”

Paul has now responded and said that Davis is ‘just angry he’s not tall enough to ride rollercoaster at Disney World’.

“I’m sorry little buddy. I know it’s not fair,” he went on to jeer.
