JAKE PAUL and Conor McGregor have put their trash talk on hold ahead of a potential grudge match later this year.
The pair were snapped together on Monday ahead of President Donald Trump’s inauguration in Washington DC.
Paul was joined by his brother Logan and his mum Pam Stepnick on their way to the ceremony.
The suited-up trio shared a snap with Jake’s 4.7million followers on X – and fans were stunned to see McGregor seated behind the two brothers.
Jake captioned the snap: “Inauguration going great.”
One fan gasped in response: “I cannot believe what I’m seeing.”
Another said: “Never thought I would see a picture like this, with all the beef over the years.”
YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul, 28, and MMA star McGregor, 36, have regularly traded online barbs over the past few years.
Reports emerged last month The Notorious had agreed to fight Jake after originally sounding out a bout with Logan, 29.
But Jake called The Notorious out last month for trying to back out of the showdown, describing McGregor as “washed.”

A fight between the pair has been brewing for the best part of four years.
Jake started his pursuit of what could be a mammoth payday with the former UFC champion in late 2020.

The pair have traded several other jabs over the years, with McGregor blasting Jake’s chaotic bout with boxing legend Mike Tyson last year.

Posting on social media, the UFC star wrote: “Honour to be in Washington, D.C., to support @realDonaldTrump the newly elected leader of the free world, and to stand with the 13 families who lost their loved ones at Abbey Gate.”
McGregor’s trip to the USA comes after he lost a civil court case over claims he assaulted a woman in a Dublin hotel room.
Nikita Hand accused the Irish mixed martial arts fighter of “brutally raping and battering” her after a Christmas night out in December 2018.
McGregor claims he had consensual sex with Hand.
A jury in the civil case ordered McGregor to pay her nearly £207,000 in November.
Following the decision, The Notorious wrote on X: “I will be appealing today’s decision.
“The judge’s instruction and the modest award given was for assault, not for aggravated or exemplary damages.
“I am disappointed that the jury did not hear all the evidence that the DPP reviewed.
“I am with my family now, focused on my future. Thank you to all my support worldwide.”
