Jake Paul’s MVP Promotion Pays Bruce Lee-Esque Tribute to Undercard Boxer Fighting on Nate Diaz Card

‘Problem Child’ Jake Paul is all set to enter the ring against Nate Diaz on the 5th of August in Dallas, Texas. As we inch closer to the day, we are looking at a massive showdown as both fighters have a lot on the line for this bout. Paul will be entering the ring again after his loss to Tommy Fury in February. This fight also marks the professional entry of Nate Diaz for the first time in the boxing ring.

The Paul-Diaz showdown will be the main headliner of the night. However, the undercards are out, and they are a fitting prelude to the big fight. Among the many undercard bouts, Ashton Sylve vs William Silva serves as an exciting match for the upcoming event. ‘H2o’ Slyve is signed by Jake Paul’s promotion company and is leveraging the Paul-Diaz main event for publicity. Slyve is fresh off a unanimous decision victory against Adam Kipenga while Silva is coming off a knock-out victory over Diego Gonzalo Luque.

The dramatic short video also has the voiceover of Bruce Lee narrating a few lines from his “Be Water” monologue. “I said empty your mind, be formless, shapeless, like water. Be water, my friend.”
