Nate Diaz says he didn’t really care for his boxing match against Jake Paul.

Diaz made his boxing debut on August 5, 2023, against Paul in a highly-anticipated bout. It was an intriguing matchup, but in the end, it was Paul who won by a lopsided decision, as he even dropped Diaz.

However, nearly a year after the fight, Nate Diaz says he didn’t take the fight seriously as he says he went on a bender leading up to the bout.
