After Tommy Fury defeated Jake Paul, both expressed interest in a rematch. However, reports indicated Paul's plans for bouts against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and KSI before facing Fury again. It was later announced that Paul would instead fight mixed martial arts fighter Nate Diaz.
The upcoming professional boxing contest between Jake Paul and Nate Diaz is named as Ready 4 War.
It will take place on August 5, 2023 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
In a change from the initial plan of eight rounds, Jake Paul and Nate Diaz will now compete in a full ten-round boxing match.
Nate Diaz is considered one of the UFC's most popular pay-per-view draws. His fight against Conor McGregor at UFC 196 generated nearly 1.5 million pay-per-view buys. Diaz currently boasts a professional MMA record of 21 wins and 13 losses.
Nicknamed 'The Problem Child', Jake Paul, the younger brother of Logan Paul, made his boxing debut in 2020 and currently holds a perfect record of 5-0. In his last fight, he scored a knockout win against former UFC champion Tyron Woodley.
