Nate Diaz has admitted that he hates doing Ironman races in the ocean and feared he was going to be eaten by a shark whilst taking part in one.
Diaz, 38, is preparing for his professional boxing debut against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul on August 5. The UFC legend is known for his exceptional cardiovascular endurance and he often competes in triathlon and Ironman competitions along with his brother Nick and several of his training partners.
With his boxing match against Paul less than a month away, Diaz still plans to compete in two triathlons before the fight. Thankfully for Diaz, the swimming part of an upcoming triathlon will take place in a lake and not an ocean, which is good because he fears a shark could get him at any moment in the deep waters.
