Jake Paul has confirmed that UFC legend Nate Diaz is his planned next opponent after he fights Tommy Fury on Sunday night in Saudi Arabia.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer takes a massive step up in competition in the Middle East this weekend when he faces unbeaten boxer Fury after previously defeating MMA legends and celebrities. But he is already looking ahead to a busy year, and is eyeing Diaz after the former lightweight title contender left the UFC last year.
Diaz is one of the most in-demand fighters in combat sport at the moment, with offers coming in from promotions across boxing, MMA and even bare-knuckle for his services. He is a massive pay-per-view draw and after twice attending Paul's fights to corner teammate Chris Avila, there appears to be a path set for the pair to finally fight later this year.
