Jake Paul has his next boxing fight set against former UFC title contender Nate Diaz on Aug. 5 in Dallas, Most Valuable Promotions announced.
“My last fight didn’t end the way I wanted, but the result was the best thing that could have happened to my professional boxing aspirations,” Paul said in a statement. “Now, the world thinks I am vulnerable, when all I am is more focused than ever. My team wanted me to take an easy fight like KSI next, but that’s not how I am built.“Nate Diaz is considered one of the most badass fighters of all time, but he and his team have been running their mouths for too long.
I haven’t forgotten about the slap backstage in Arizona, and on August 5, a Problem Child is going to piece up and knock out the Stockton G.”“I’m here to conquer that,” Diaz said. “I’m the King of combat sports and then I’m headed back to get my UFC belts. I f—ed up Conor for acting out and now here I am again, like a superhero of the real fight game, the king of the real fight game.”Subscribe to The Athletic for in-depth coverage of your favorite players, teams, leagues and clubs.
