Nate Diaz still has a love for boxing and boxers. The fighter faced Jake Paul a while ago and suffered a devastating loss, however, he’s still unafraid. Now that Diaz has braved a venture into the ring, it’s only fair for a brilliant boxer to do the same for MMA.

And that just might be happening. Recently, Deontay Wilder showed great interest in going toe-to-toe with one of the best UFC fighters out there, and it wasn’t just for a boxing match. Here’s Wilder’s interview and Diaz’s response to it.

Nate Diaz accepts Wilder’s challenge head-on

A recent clip of Deontay Wilder answering questions about joining the UFC went viral. Wilder has recently been showing a lot of interest in fighting in the cage. In the interview, he can be heard saying, “Nate, call me up bro . . . I’d be down to get in there with Nate for sure.

And he was just in luck for Diaz to have heard him who would later go on to post about it on his X handle. “Let’s get these contract(s) written up asap..Real fight sh*t to a real fighter down to fight for real. All love to boxing But this is different real sh*t LFG 1993.”

Diaz has previously ventured into boxing in a match against Jake Paul. The prizefighter ended up defeating the famed UFC star in a much more disappointing turn of events. There’s also the famous Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather fight that everyone loves talking about.

And now, we have Francis Ngannou vs Tyson Fury. MMA fighters traveling to the ends of the earth to fight a boxing match is nothing new. However, a famed boxer coming to the Octagon? That would be a new one for everyone. Perhaps Diaz could restore himself to his former glory if the fight ever goes down.

Will Wilder fight Ngannou too?

Thousands of people including celebrities from around the world witnessed Fury vs Ngannou. A match that ended with an unfortunate loss for a much-deserving Ngannou. Thankfully, the MMA fighter is not just yet done with the bigger gloves. But could he be facing Wilder next?

“I think that’s a good idea,” said Ngannou in an interview. “. . . that’s something that can potentially happen.” He said this after his match on the MMA Hour Show when asked about a bout with Wilder. The twist here? It might just be an MMA match because according to Ngannou, Wilder has been training for MMA recently.
