Nate Diaz to enlist help of ex-world champion for fight against Jake Paul

Nate Diaz will train with former boxing world champion Andre Ward for his upcoming fight against Jake Paul.

Diaz, 38, is scheduled to make his boxing debut against Paul, 26, in Dallas, Texas on August 5. Despite it being the fight marking Diaz's first appearance in the ring, the UFC no legend is no stranger to the boxing world having sparred with the likes of Ward and Regis Prograis in the past.

Ward has now revealed he will help Diaz with his fight preparations, as he said on The MMA Hour : “Not to go too deep into it but he has reached out and we are going to connect at a certain point, when the fight’s getting close. That’s my brother, man. I respect what he’s done for Stockton, in this area, him and his brother. It’s going to be a great fight."
