Jake Paul reignites Conor McGregor feud as he calls out his sparring partner Dylan Moran

Jake Paul has issued a callout to Conor McGregor's sparring partner Dylan Moran after the latter promised to knock out the YouTube boxing star.

Moran previously promised that he would tezch the Paul brothers “some manners” if they attended McGregor's Abu Dhabi rematch with Dustin Poirier.

And on Instagram, Paul took his opportunity to taunt and tease both Irishmen as he joked about McGregor taking "easy fights".

He said: "Conor's taking easy fights. But he's been sparring in Ireland.

"He's been boxing, going against some phenomenal, exciting Irish talent.

"This kid must be really good, because Conor's a 'good boxer' right? And then we looked this kid up!

"Ladies and gentlemen, presenting to you: the big, bad, exciting Irish talent - Dylan Moran, the kid that Conor McGregor is sparring against. Take a look!"

Paul then went on to show footage of Moran being dropped to the canvas three times during his 2019 loss to Dennis Okoth.

He concluded with an image of Moran lying on the canvas and added a cutting caption: "This is who Conor is calling a phenomenal boxer."

Paul and McGregor have been feuding publicly for the last number of months, with McGregor responding to a recent callout by branding Paul "a nobody".

That barb prompted Paul to laugh off McGregor's recent activity - or lack thereof - in the UFC, taking aim at the Dubliner's hiatus since the leg break he sustained in his loss against Poirier.

He said: “Conor, Conor, Conor – you’re more active on Twitter than you are in the octagon.

“Your priorities are mixed up. Put down the bottle and get back to fighting. You haven’t won a fight in five f***ing years, and the last time you did was against (Donald) ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone – who hasn’t won a fight against anyone since fighting you.

“I’m a ‘nobody,’ you say in this tweet. Well, yeah, you’re right. I’m just a f***ing kid from Ohio – I really am a nobody. But this is where you fought your sixth fight: There’s literally two people in the crowd.

“You shouldn’t have f***ed with me, Conor. This is my game. There’s a new king in town. I’m running s**t now.

“Fix your calcium deficiency, stop breaking your bones, and let’s get in the ring and make $200 million. Conor, no matter how you slice it, we’re just not on the same level. I’m my own boss.

Nothing was left unsaid as Paul even went as far as to bring McGregor's lucrative fight against Floyd Mayweather into the argument - claiming that the Notorious had to give half of his earnings to Dana White on that occasion.

He continued: “Yeah, you made $100 million when you fought Floyd (Mayweather), but Dana took half of it. So, no matter what you do or what you make, cut that s**t in half.

“If we went net worth for net worth, I would s**t on you, Conor. Put the bottle down, get off of Twitter, get back in the ring and shut the f**k up or I’m going to put you back on a leash.

"F**k you, Conor.”
