The much-anticipated bout is expected to take place at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in 2025
Mumbai is abuzz with excitement as the city might host a historic boxing match between Irish MMA superstar Conor McGregor and YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan Paul. The much-anticipated bout is expected to take place at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in 2025.
McGregor, a former two-division UFC champion and one of the biggest names in combat sports, hinted at his return on X (formerly Twitter) after a three-year hiatus. The Irishman has been away from the ring since suffering a severe leg injury during his 2021 UFC fight against Dustin Poirier.

This event marks McGregor's comeback and is part of the 'Visit India' campaign, aimed at promoting tourism in the country. Spearheaded by Mukesh Ambani, India’s richest man, the campaign seeks to spotlight India as a global hub for world-class events.
The fight promises to set financial records, with both McGregor and Paul expected to earn a staggering $250 million each, making it one of the richest bouts in boxing history, according to reports.
Sports enthusiasts and analysts are thrilled at the prospect of Mumbai hosting such a grand spectacle. Historically, marquee boxing events have been held in cities like Las Vegas and London. Bringing this fight to Mumbai would not only elevate the city’s global profile but also position India as a prime destination for future international sporting events.
While an official announcement is awaited, the anticipation of this mega fight has already sparked excitement among fans worldwide. If confirmed, the clash between McGregor and Paul at Wankhede Stadium could be a game-changer for India’s sports and entertainment landscape.
