Jake Paul outlines hurdles to be overcome in order to make Nate Diaz fight

Jake Paul admits he is not sure it will be easy for Nate Diaz to leave his UFC contract and negotiate a potential boxing fight.

YouTube star Paul has fought five times as a professional and will take on his sixth test against UFC legend Anderson Silva on October 29 in Arizona. Providing he progresses beyond the stern examination of his credentials, Paul is eyeing further crossover bouts including against long-term target Diaz.

It appeared a route to a potential fight became clearer last weekend after Diaz defeated Tony Ferguson in the final fight on his UFC contract before stating his ambitions to switch to the squared circle. However Paul is not yet willing to get ahead of himself until he defeats Silva, despite admitting a future bout is on his mind.
