Jake Paul dealt Nate Diaz blow as UFC star appears to rule out boxing fight

Nate Diaz appears to have poured cold water on a fight with Jake Paul by declaring he doesn't plan to do "anything else".

Paul will take on UFC legend Anderson Silva tomorrow night in Arizona in his sixth professional fight. The YouTube star is hoping victory can take him one step closer to setting up another crossover boxing clash with rival Diaz who recently beat Tony Ferguson in the final fight of his UFC contract.

Diaz had previously claimed he was open to the contest and suggested that he would begin negotiations as soon as he was free from any existing ties that remained with the UFC. However in a surprise U-turn, Diaz may have just dropped the biggest hint yet that Paul's hopes of securing a fight could be over.
