Conor McGregor has laughed off criticism from Jake Paul after posting a new boxing training clip.

The UFC star is working his way back to full fitness after suffering a broken leg in his defeat to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 last summer.

As a result, the only combat training he can currently take part in is pure boxing.

On Friday, McGregor posted a clip of himself doing just that.

Jake, who is now 5-0 (4 KOs) as a pro boxer, reacted mockingly.

He reposted the footage to his Instagram story with the caption: "This is embarrassing.

"Your chin [is] wide open with no head movement for the Problem Child right hand of God."

He added in a tweet: "I would KO Conor in boxing or MMA. Right hand of God."

McGregor responded with a video clip from his bed.

He sat up, showed off some head movement and said: "Jackass."

McGregor's old foe Paulie Malignaggi tweeted: "I agree with Jake. Conor is light work."

Malignaggi then added in reply to a fan: "He ain't s***."

So McGregor responded with a clip of their disputed sparring knockdown and captioned it: "I left you like a little seesaw."

Jake reacted to his exchange with McGregor by tweeting a new proposal for UFC president Dana White.

He said: "Dana - Since you like me now, how about a one-fight UFC deal to fight Conor.

"If I win, you agree to my UFC fighter pay and healthcare proposal.

"If I lose, I donate my entire purse to all UFC fighters who make less than $50K a fight and never mention UFC again. Deal?"

In a separate clip, Jake also took aim at Jorge Masvidal.

He said: "My new saying is, 'I feel bad for stupid people.'

"Because they're so stupid that they don't even realise they're stupid.

"It's like the people who think that Jorge Masvidal is a good fighter.

"It's like the people who think that Conor McGregor's still a good fighter.

"These guys haven't won fights in I don't know how the f*** long.

"They’re over the hill, old, washed up bozos and I’m gonna knock them both the f*** out."
