Jake Paul will enter the ring against Mike Tyson on July 20 in the biggest fight of his career. Meanwhile, Nate Diaz and his upcoming opponent, Jorge Masvidal, can’t seem to keep Paul’s name out of their mouths. On Saturday in Las Vegas, former foes Diaz and Masvidal came face-to-face in a presser for their boxing rematch scheduled for June 1 in Los Angeles. 

The UFC duo first encountered each other in November 2019 at UFC 244, headlining the event. After three rounds of battle, Masvidal took home the win via knockout. So, with all the craze for boxing in recent times, the pair decided to run it back, but in boxing. However, during their first press conference, both fighters put aside their differences to gang up on Paul, chanting, “F**k Jake Paul.” In response, the YouTuber turned boxer has clapped back by offering $10 million to the fighters who are willing to step into the ring with him.

Jake Paul alleges Dana White has blocked Jorge Masvidal from facing him

Turning to X, ‘The Problem Child’ wrote, “Two of the biggest names in MMA can’t keep my name out [of] their [mouths] at their press conference that nobody watched.” It’s worth mentioning that Diaz and Paul fought each other in August last year, with Paul emerging as the winner by unanimous decision. There were talks of a rematch between them, but nothing ever came out of it. 

So, Paul then added, “Nate already got his a** beat by me, & Jorge is literally permitted by UFC to box anyone but me because Dana [White] knows I will put his little a** to sleep.” The influencer boxer then proceeds to offer either fighter $10 million for a fight. “[I] already told both of these bozos to come see me in PFL [because] in boxing, they got no shot. $10 [million] for either of them,” wrote Paul. Meanwhile, ‘The Stockton Slugger’ has hinted at a possible rematch with Paul.

Nate Diaz reveals his hitlist

During his press conference with the fellow UFC veteran, the Stockton star revealed his plans to avenge his past losses. While Jake Paul is indeed one of them, Diaz also wants Conor McGregor and Leon Edwards as well. 

He said, “I 100% guarantee I’m [going to] fight Conor McGregor again. And I 100% guarantee I’m [going to] probably fight Jake Paul again, this f***ing f***er [Jorge Masvidal] again, and Leon Edwards again. That’s my hit list.” 

Diaz fought McGregor twice in the past in two of the most action-packed matches, winning the first one and losing the other. Meanwhile, the loss to Edwards came in June 2021 at UFC 263! What’s more, after Paul’s $10 million offer, fans might get to see a fight between them sooner than most expect. 

With Nate Diaz and Jake Paul’s fights right around the corner, another exciting matchup seems to be in the making. However, whether these statements turn into reality is yet to be seen! Do you think there will be a rematch between them?
