The challenges have been getting more complicated for Jake Paul since he launched his boxing career. In the beginning his rivals were influencers like him, but he showed he was open to facing former fighters as well. This time he will be clashing with non-other than Nate Diaz.
The fight seems easy to sell given how well known these two personalities are, although there will be no shortage of trash talk between them. In fact, they have already been exchanging unpleasant comments about each other for a while now. This common past should make up for a great fight.
Diaz has battled against the best UFC fighters on their primes, so he clearly doesn’t avoid any opponent. However, the track record of MMA fighters is not favorable because Paul had impressive knockouts over Ben Askren and Anderson Silva. Something interesting is that the YouTuber comes from his first-ever defeat when he met with Tommy Fury.
