Jake Paul has revealed that he is closing in on a deal with Nate Diaz to stage a two-fight double header in boxing and MMA. The Problem Child has confirmed that he is aiming to stage the fights in 2024 after his grudge match with KSI and says that negotiations are “pretty far along”.
“We offered a two-fight deal to Nate Diaz, one for boxing and one for MMA,” Paul told The Daily Mail. “That could definitely happen and he could definitely be my first MMA opponent, 100 per cent.
“It would be diving into the deep end but, for some reason, I just feel as if I’m going to be really good at MMA. I have the wrestling background, I have the better boxing than all of them, so I’ve really just got to learn the kicks and the takedown defence.
“It is pretty far along, but it’s not done,” he added. “Obviously, in this world of combat sport you never know what’s going to happen. Until everything is signed, I don’t count my chickens until they’re hatched. But we are in talks with his team pretty frequently.”
Another man who is currently in talks with Paul is his long-time nemesis KSI.
