British influencer KSI has teased a spectacular boxing match with Conor McGregor as he admitted he is "very down" to fight the former two-weight UFC champion.

Last month, it was revealed that McGregor, 36, was in discussions with the Ambani family over facing American influencer Logan Paul in an exhibition match in India.

But reports on Tuesday night claimed Paul could opt against fighting McGregor as he looks to focus on his career in the WWE.
