Conor McGregor gave his prediction for Nate Diaz’s boxing debut, but this didn’t sit well with Jake Paul, who expressed his displeasure on social media by challenging McGregor to a fight.
‘The Problem Child’ and ‘The Notorious’ have been in conflict for several years, with the former requesting a fight in the ring against the two-time UFC champion. The YouTube personality has gained credibility by not only competing but also defeating legends in combat sports.
After Conor McGregor claimed that Nate Diaz would easily defeat Jake, the latter went on a social media rant and demanded a co-main event on the Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano card against McGregor.
“I’m a better boxer than you Conor and will do what you couldn’t by knocking Nate out. After Nate, let’s box as the co-main event on the same night as Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano in Dublin. But since you’re not your own boss, you will hide behind Dana or just drink the rest of your life away. August 5, you will see.”
Conor McGregor, who suffered a defeat against Floyd Mayweather in his first and only boxing match over five years ago. He has shown interest in returning to the ring and continuing his fighting journey.
As Jake continues to win and elevate his position in the sport, he may desire a fight with McGregor the most, in addition to his ongoing feud with fellow YouTuber KSI.
Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz gets bigger and bigger
Surprisingly, the highly anticipated fight between Paul and Diaz, which was previously thought to be unrealistic, has been confirmed.
Despite the ongoing verbal exchange between the two, the fight agreement was announced earlier this month. The match will take place at 185lbs, a weight category that the popular MMA fighter has never competed in before.
Giving an advantage to the former entertainer-turned-boxer. The event will be jointly promoted by Most Valuable Promotions and Real Fight Inc. and is scheduled to take place on August 5. With the Jake vs. Nate match as the main event of the pay-per-view.
