In a highly anticipated boxing match, YouTube sensation-turned-boxer Jake Paul and UFC legend Nate Diaz are set to face off on August 5 in Dallas, Texas. However, the road to their showdown has taken an intriguing turn, as the originally planned eight-round bout has been extended to a ten-round fight. With Diaz’s boxing debut on the horizon, fans eagerly await the clash between figures from different combat sports backgrounds.

Initially scheduled for eight rounds, the fight between Paul and Diaz has now been altered to a ten-round affair. This change came about after Diaz called for the modification, asserting that Paul’s best chance of victory lies in the early rounds. The Stockton Native recently departed from the organization after his last victory against Tony Ferguson. Moreover, his decision to step into the boxing ring has generated significant buzz.

As the fight draws near, a video showcasing Diaz’s training session has emerged, giving fans a glimpse of his preparation for the battle against Paul. The footage reveals Diaz’s intense focus and dedication to his craft. In the video, he can be seen working the pads with his trainer gearing to pull off an upset.

Fans have been quick to react, expressing their opinions and expectations for the upcoming bout. Some admire Diaz’s boxing skills and believe he has what it takes to defeat Paul. However, others remain skeptical and question his transition from MMA to boxing.

Moreover, a user named legendofcocaroto added that Diaz could win this fight. However, he was concerned that the Stockton Native will take this matchup lightly.

Also, a user named Luis Santiago revealed that while he did not like the crossover boxing scene, Diaz would lose this fight. He claimed that former UFC champion Tyron Woodley had better boxing skills than Diaz but still lost to Paul.

With the rule change, the anticipation surrounding this matchup continues to build. As both fighters aim to make their mark in this cross-disciplinary encounter, this clash has become one of the most intriguing events in combat sports. While Diaz seeks to prove himself in the boxing world, Paul aims to solidify his reputation as a legitimate fighter.
