Jake Paul is confident all signs point to a Conor McGregor fight if he knocks out Nate Diaz in their upcoming boxing match.
YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul, 26, is scheduled to meet UFC legend Diaz, 38, over eight rounds at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas on August 5. McGregor recently backed his former opponent Diaz to win his professional boxing debut against Paul, stating: "I think Nate Diaz slaps the head off him and I look forward to seeing it!”
Paul has now responded to McGregor's prediction by stating the Irishman has "trauma" from his 2016 loss to Diaz, which at the time marked his first UFC defeat. “I think he’s got trauma from when Nate slapped his head off,” Paul said at the launch press conference for his fight with Diaz.
