Jake Paul vows to have "fight for the ages" in comeback bout with Nate Diaz

Jake Paul has vowed to make his comeback fight against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz "a fight for the ages".

The YouTube star lost against bitter rival Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia earlier this year, but has announced that he will return in a new clash against MMA veteran Diaz on August 5 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. It will be a huge opportunity for Paul to get back to winning ways, but a loss could spell a disaster for the future of his short boxing career.

Diaz was known for his striking and punch power during his stint in the UFC and he could potentially pose a significant test to Paul if his skills translate into the boxing ring. And Paul believes that it will be an intriguing clash of styles in the boxing ring which could make it a fan-friendly war on the night.
