KSI could attempt to beat rival Jake Paul to fight with UFC legend Nate Diaz

KSI could end up stealing Nate Diaz's boxing debut from his long-time rival Jake Paul after telling fans he has interest in facing the UFC legend.

The YouTube star will return to the ring in January on a huge pay-per-view card which is also expected to feature Logan Paul's boxing return. And with no opponent yet booked, KSI could swoop in with a big money offer to tempt Diaz into his first boxing match after the legendary MMA fighter left the UFC with a submission win over Tony Ferguson last weekend at UFC 279.

Diaz is now one of the most valuable free agents in all of combat sport, and will be fielding mega-money offers from around the world to compete in MMA, boxing and more. He has been long-touted as a possible opponent for Jake Paul, but if KSI were to offer him a better deal he could be brought to the UK for a major showdown.
