Nate Diaz has vowed to "f*** up" Jake Paul in the same way he claims he did Conor McGregor when he makes his boxing debut against the YouTube star.
Diaz became a free agent after choking out Tony Ferguson in his final fight with the UFC, and has been heavily linked with a showdown against influencer Paul. This week in a shock announcement, it was confirmed that Diaz would finally get a chance to settle his rivalry with the YouTube star where he will make his maiden appearance in the boxing ring.
The fight has been announced to take place on August 5 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, which will see Diaz look to hand Paul the second defeat of his boxing career after he recently fell short against Tommy Fury. And in a bold statement of intent from the Stockton native, Diaz suggested his rival has the biggest profile in boxing outside of Canelo Alvarez.
