Jake Paul believes beating Nate Diaz would force Conor McGregor to fight him

Jake Paul believes a fight with Nate Diaz is inevitable in the next two years and would force Conor McGregor to stop "ducking" him.

Paul has launched a career in the boxing ring and is now recognised as one of the most high-profile stars in the sport despite having had just five outings as a professional. His current wins include two over former UFC champion Tyron Woodley and one against ex-contender Ben Askren with the YouTuber eyeing further crossover events.

These include bouts against superstars Diaz and McGregor whom he has directed several call-outs towards in recent months. Diaz will be available to negotiate a boxing fight after the final fight of his UFC contract against Khamzat Chimaev on September 10.
