Nate Diaz has made a case for both Jake Paul and Anderson Silva ahead of their boxing clash next month.
YouTube star Paul and 48-year-old Silva will clash over eight rounds at a catchweight of 187lb in Arizona on October 29. Silva is the third potential opponent Paul has drafted for his sixth professional fight after bouts with Love Island star Tommy Fury and professional boxer Hasim Rahman Jr were scrapped last month.
Diaz has been backed to leave the UFC after his fight with Khamzat Chimaev this Saturday and earn a huge payday to face Paul. The UFC veteran was shocked that Silva was underestimated in his fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and thinks it would be stupid to rule out his chances against Paul despite the age gap between the pair.
