The world of boxing is bracing itself for another explosive clash as YouTuber-turned-professional boxer Jake Paul prepares to step into the ring against MMA superstar Nate Diaz. The two will face each other in August at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. This will be the Stockton native’s boxing debut as he will compete outside the UFC after a long time.

While Jake may have gotten Diaz to compete against him, he was not the only one looking for a boxing match. His brother Logan Paul was also interested in facing the UFC veteran long before his brother took this fight. Moreover, ‘The Problem Child’ even gave ‘The Maverick’ a reality check for thinking he had this fight confirmed.

Jake Paul confronts Logan Paul’s claims

In a recent episode of Logan’s podcast ImPaulsive, he asks Jake how he was able to secure a match with Diaz. According to Logan, he was already in talks with Diaz before negotiations abruptly broke down. “How did you get the Nate Diaz fight? I thought I had it locked up. I thought for sure I had it locked up. How did you get the fight?” he asked. However, Jake would then reveal that this was certainly not the case as Diaz never intended to fight Logan. “You never had it locked up,” said Jake.
