Jake Paul and Nate Diaz are about to go down on the 5th of August. This fight is Paul’s way of seeking redemption after facing his first loss against Tommy Fury in his last contest. Paul wanted to prove himself as a boxer and get rid of the ‘Influencer boxer’ tag but he wasn’t able to do it. But now, he wants to prove himself again as a fighter by going against the former UFC fighter, Nate Diaz. On the other hand, Diaz will be fighting for the first time after he retired from the UFC.

Now he’s out there, trying his hands at boxing. He has promised his fans that he’ll prove why he’s the best fighter in the world. Well, Paul has been trying to garner audience for this upcoming bout and has been trying different ways to increase the numbers of his PPV sales. Once, Paul even blamed Diaz for not participating in the build-up of the fight, which annoyed ‘The Problem Child’ a bit.

Anyway, recently Paul went on Twitter to reveal the collaboration of two major streaming services for his bout. For this bout, DAZN and ESPN + PPV has agreed to join hands, especially for making the Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz fight experience better and memorable for all the fans out there. Paul expressed his gratitude for DAZN’s efforts and wrote, “Shout out to DAZN for breaking barriers.” This has caught the attention of combat fans worldwide.
