After months of attempting to get Diaz to fight him in the squared circle, Paul finally got his wish.

Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz: ‘The Problem Child’ predicts the outcome of upcoming boxing match
Jake Paul is confident of a victory against Nate Diaz. ‘The Problem Child’ recently shared his prediction for the fight and claimed he’s looking for a knockout as early as the fifth round.
While Diaz will aim to make a statement in the boxing ring against his longtime rival, Paul is looking to rebound from a split decision loss against Tommy Fury in his last outing. However, the YouTuber-turned-boxer is expected to have the upper hand in this matchup.
Paul has previously defeated notable MMA stars like Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley, and Ben Askren. However, many hold the opinion that Diaz’s tank-like durability and legendary cardio levels will make things difficult for Paul.
In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Jake Paul dismissed the possibility of Nate Diaz winning and said:
“My prediction is a fifth-round knockout… I’m not concerned. I know I want it more, and I know what I did in training… And yeah, he’s going to maybe land a couple of punches, that’s the name of the game… I’m going to get hit and hit him harder, and keep on going and weather the storm and end his career.”
