Former boxing world champion Adrien Broner calls out UFC legend Nate Diaz

Adrien Broner has called out UFC legend Nate Diaz, offering him another big-name option for his highly-anticipated professional boxing debut.

The former lightweight title contender has recently left MMA's top promotion after 15 years under contract and is keen to make a move into the boxing world. He still has issues to iron out with regards to his contract but has been open to offers once his deal is completely done after he left with a submission victory over fellow fan favourite Tony Ferguson.

The common belief is that Diaz will face Jake Paul when he makes his switch into boxing, and he will be in attendance when the YouTuber-turned-boxer faces Anderson Silva later this month. But he now has another possible opponent in Broner, who has offered to make a considerable jump in weight to face the MMA fighter.
