Jake Paul believes Nate Diaz's opinion on his fight with Anderson Silva is one of the few which has "credibility".
The YouTuber-turned-boxer will finally face someone with a winning professional record when he takes on the iconic former UFC middleweight champion Silva next month in Arizona. He had been eyeing up a possible fight with Diaz for the past year, but the Stockton native was unable to get out of his exclusive UFC contract until he fought Khamzat Chimaev, which he does tomorrow.
And despite Diaz having previously claimed to be "bored" during Paul's fight with Woodley and leaving early, there appears to be something of a mutual respect between the pair. Asked at Wednesday's media day for a prediction for Paul vs Silva, Diaz explained that the fight could go either way, listing advantages for each fighter.
