UFC president Dana White has claimed Jake Paul's boxing fight with Nate Diaz is "not his thing".
Paul recently suffered his first boxing loss since making the move from his career as a YouTube star, having stepped up and fallen short by split decision against professional boxer Tommy Fury. It was initially expected 'The Problem Child' would seek immediate revenge in a sequel against Fury having access to a contracted clause, but it failed to materialise.
Then to many fans' surprise, Paul announced he would instead face ex-UFC star Diaz in a comeback fight on August 5 in Dallas. It will be the Stockton native's squared circle debut after his contract with White's promotion expired, as he continues to fight at 38-years-old.
