Nate Diaz is open to a boxing match with YouTube star Jake Paul, just not right now.
Diaz is currently gearing up for a return to the UFC, but the Californian is confident he will fight Paul at some point in the future, possibly after the latter’s upcoming eight-round boxing match with Ben Askren in April.
“No, not at that moment, no, Diaz told ESPN’s Ariel Helwani when asked about a potential fight with Paul (h/t BJPenn.com). “But, at some point for sure.”
Diaz thinks Paul needs to be taught a lesson in the boxing ring following his derogatory comments towards Conor McGregor, Dillon Danis, and several other fighters in the MMA sphere.
