Nate Diaz will have to lose a huge amount of weight in less than two months for his fight against Jake Paul, according to one of his sparring partners.
Diaz makes his boxing debut against Paul in Dallas, Texas on August 5. The UFC legend recently sparred with unbeaten professional boxer and Olympic silver medalist Esquiva Falcao, who was impressed with Diaz's skills but also surprised at how big he was.
“He is heavy now, he’s overweight," Falcao said of Diaz. "He must weigh about 220 pounds now or more. So the only big guy here at the gym is me. So I ended up having to spar him. I enjoyed doing it though. I took it down a notch and we were just boxing. We ended up going for 12 rounds, even though he was tired. He was landing shots and eating a lot of shots too. It’s bad."
