Tonight, boxing will see another UFC legend step up inside the squared circle for the first time as a professional, with Jake Paul standing on his way.
Paul vs Diaz will take place on August 5 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. The event will start at 9.PM ET.
Nate Diaz taking on Jake Paul shall be an interesting affair, especially after so much has been said from both sides.
Going against the UFC Nashville event, Paul vs Diaz is expected to do good numbers in the Box Office. The event will be available live on DAZN PPV and ESPN PPV at the price of $59.99.
Nate, a former UFC fighter, is undoubtedly one of the most renowned names in the combat world. He is the first person to beat Conor McGregor in the UFC and left the promotion only after submitting Tony Ferguson in his last fight.
Known for his boxing skills and jiu-jitsu, Diaz will make his pro-boxing debut against Jake Paul, who has transitioned into the boxing world from his social media career.
6-1 as a pro, Paul lost his unbeaten record to Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy Fury in his last outing. ‘The Problem Child’ is looking to find his way back to the win track and hasn’t opted to face a pro boxer.
Instead, he went back to challenging MMA stars in a pugilistic matchup. It remains to be seen whether Nate Diaz can take out Jake Paul or end up becoming his boxing victim.
