Jake Paul is looking to return to boxing with his bout with Anderson Silva on October 29, Saturday, in the Gila River Arena, Phoenix. After back-to-back cancellations, ‘The Problem Child’ has hope to fight once again. On the other end, Nate Diaz, recently at UFC279, went up against veteran fighter Tony Ferguson in his last contractual fight in the UFC. Following the end of his match, Diaz expressed his willingness to attend the Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva event and that too by being ringside.

Now, after Diaz’s remarks on Silva vs. Paul, Paul reportedly ‘trash-talked’ the Stockton born fighter. According to a report published by theScore, ‘The Problem Child’ said, “A hundred percent. 100%. I’ll slap the Stockton out of him.”
