Nate Diaz and Jake Paul met back in August 2023.
It was Paul’s first fight back in the ring after his defeat to Tommy Fury in February of that year, while MMA star Diaz was making his boxing debut after spending over 15 years in the UFC.
Paul ran out a comfortable winner against Diaz, dropping him in round five on his way to a unanimous decision victory.
In the aftermath, it was speculated that another clash may take place between the two, with Paul claiming that Diaz turned down a rematch in MMA for 10 million dollars.
Diaz has hit back at those comments, and revealed on social media the one condition that needs to happen is they must meet again in boxing first before an MMA contest.
“Your full of sh*t I didn’t ask for sh*t I’ll fight u tomorrow [in] MMA. The problem is u suck and I don’t work for pu**yFL dumba*s u do. Rematch is in boxing, trilogy is in MMA, u need time to train anyway, u suck.”
Diaz has beaten fellow UFC star Jorge Masvidal in a boxing match since meeting with Paul, while the Youtuber-turned-boxer has gone on to have four more contests, defeating Mike Perry, Ryan Bourland and Andre August by knockout, before a controversial showdown against Mike Tyson this past November.
Paul won the fight against 58-year-old Tyson by unanimous decision, and is now looking for his next opponent in 2025. With no clear contenders yet, another showdown with Diaz could happen, though it’s expected ‘The Problem Child’ will look elsewhere.
