If you're tired of hearing Jake Paul's name in the media, maybe this event isn't for you. However, If you like making money, our boxing expert has found a juicy plus-money market he's attacking in Paul vs. Diaz.
Jake Paul finally faced a boxer in a grudge match versus Tommy Fury last February, and things didn’t go as planned. Fury won a split decision that should have been unanimous, leading Paul to change his training staff and go back to what works, namely finding an MMA fighter looking for a payday. Paul developed well under previous trainer BJ Flores, but Paul going back to “Sugar” Shane Mosley should give him the offensive push Flores wasn’t able to get out of him in the Fury fight.
Though MMA star Diaz made a reputation for his toughness and has sparred with several pro boxers throughout his career, this is going to be a new world for him. Diaz escaped the UFC with a win over Tony Ferguson in September 2022, and he’ll be fighting at the heaviest of his career for his boxing debut. While renowned for his striking prowess, Diaz only registered five knockouts in a 34-fight career.
How Diaz’s body will react to fighting 15 pounds over his usual fighting weight at an advanced age will be interesting. Paul can simply work behind his jab, lean on Diaz in the clinch, and line him up for a big right hand if Diaz wants to scrap.
