When Nate Diaz walked away from the UFC, he walked away with a win over Tony Ferguson, solidifying his status as one of the greatest Lightweights to have graced the Octagon mat. However, he was far from being done with the sport. Diaz has started his own promotion company called Real Fight, Inc., and his next fight is a boxing bout. But with who?

YouTube-turned-boxer Jake Paul has been making a name for himself in the world of boxing. He lost his last boxing bout, which was against Tommy Fury. He has beaten UFC legend Anderson Silva as well. Now, he finds himself face to face with the bada** Nate Diaz. The two will battle it out in a boxing bout on 5 August in Dallas.
