Jake Paul vows to send Nate Diaz home in a coffin as boxing fight is agreed

Jake Paul is targeting a comeback victory after his boxing bout with UFC legend Nate Diaz was confirmed on Wednesday evening.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer will return to the ring on August 5 - around six months after his narrow defeat to long-term rival and former Love Island star Tommy Fury. Paul is hoping to rebuild his reputation by putting Diaz "in a casket" later this summer.

Paul was expected to have a rematch with Fury, who is the brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson. Yet that event has been put on hold to allow the 26-year-old American to take on Diaz. It will be Paul's eighth professional boxing appearance.
