YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul is set to take on former UFC star Nate Diaz in an eight-round boxing fight on August 5.
Paul is looking to bounce back after suffering his first loss to Tommy Fury via split decision in February, while Diaz is set for his first professional boxing match after refusing to re-sign with the UFC. The eight-round fight will take place at 185 pounds, with Paul and Diaz wearing 10 ounce gloves.
It will be Paul's eighth professional bout and the 'Problem Child' has vowed to knock Diaz out. "My last fight didn't end the way I wanted, but the result was the best thing that could have happened to my professional boxing aspirations," he said.
