After suffering a loss in the boxing ring, Jake Paul returned to action and faced Nate Diaz for their cruiserweight bout. The match was scheduled for ten rounds.
Despite losing to Tommy Fury, Paul will fight again and face a higher-profile opponent. This time, it will be against Nate Diaz, who is a prominent fighter in the combat sports industry.
Diaz, who is 38 years old, has been a professional mixed martial arts fighter for almost two decades. He gained a cult following due to his no-nonsense style of fighting and his stunning victory over former champion Conor McGregor in 2016.
Paul, who is from Stockton, California, last fought at UFC 279 in October, where he submitted Tony Ferguson. He will be facing off against Diaz in a boxing match that’s expected to draw a huge crowd.
Despite losing to Tyson Fury, Paul is still able to continue his unorthodox boxing career. He has already defeated several former UFC fighters, such as Anderson Silva, Ben Askren, and Tyron Woodley. He claims to be the first boxer in the world to knock out Diaz in his upcoming match.
Can Paul pull an upset and win the fight of his life against a prominent mixed martial arts fighter, or will Diaz capitalize on his underdog status?
On the main card, Amanda Serrano will be defending her women’s featherweight title against Heather Hardy. They faced off in 2019 and, in the end, Serrano won via unanimous decision.
An injury forced Serrano to withdraw from her fight with Katie Taylor, which was supposed to be a rematch of their previous bout. With Taylor now being involved in a rivalry with another fighter, Chantelle Cameron, she was forced to find a new opponent.
Prior to facing Serrano, Hardy had won 22 straight fights. She lost to the former champion in 2019 and was defeated by Jessica Camara in 2021.
