Nate Diaz is finally able to explore his options – and Jake Paul is apparently one of them.
The full lineup of potential suitors isn’t known, but Diaz recently expressed interest in a boxing match with Paul, something he was noncommittal to before his Sept. 10 bout at UFC 279. With the final bout on his UFC contract behind him, Diaz spoke a tad more openly about his future while in attendance at Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennadiy Golovkin 3 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
“(Jake Paul) is for sure one of the options,” Diaz told iD Boxing. “He’s doing big stuff. He’s doing big things. He’s got a big fight ahead of him. If he wins that, I’m sure people will be really impressed by it. And if Anderson (Silva) does his thing on him, that’s impressive also. Now we’ve got a fight on his hands. I’m looking forward to it.”
