Jake Paul swiftly responded to Nate Diaz’s call-out following Diaz’s victory over Jorge Masvidal. Diaz, after his win, expressed interest in fighting Jake Paul, stating his intention to beat him and any other top-ranked boxer or return to the UFC.
In response, Paul didn’t hold back, taking to Twitter to criticize Diaz for allegedly turning down a $15 million MMA offer from the Professional Fighters League (PFL). Paul’s tweet suggests ongoing tension and potential for further developments in the world of combat sports between these two personalities.
Despite the initial buzz and exchange of challenges between Jake Paul and Nate Diaz, a formal deal for their fight never came to fruition. Instead, Jake Paul has shifted his focus to boxing bouts against Andre August and Ryan Bourland. Currently, he is preparing for an upcoming fight against Mike Perry and has expressed plans to face the legendary Mike Tyson later in the year.
While Paul has teased the idea of competing in mixed martial arts (MMA), his immediate focus appears to be on boxing. His scheduled matches indicate a strategic path in boxing, possibly setting the stage for bigger matchups in the future.
