Tyson Fury and Nate Diaz emerge as top targets for bare-knuckle boxing promotion

Tyson Fury has been offered a deal with a bare-knuckle fighting promotion - and could be joined by UFC legend Nate Diaz.

World heavyweight champion Fury is one of the highest paid athletes in the world, and is highly unlikely to make the move away from traditional boxing at this point in his career. But Diaz, who just left the UFC and is approaching free agency, could be tempted to make the move into a new avenue as he looks to switch into boxing.

He is currently unable to negotiate his next move as his contract with the MMA leader runs its course, but there are bound to be a number of major offers available for the former lightweight title contender. And Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship boss David Feldman plans to make a big play, particularly given his newfound funding as part of the Triller network.
