Jake Paul calls Nate Diaz the "weakest puncher" he has ever fought: "It's funny that he dropped Conor"

Jake Paul dealt out a dishonorable distinction to Nate Diaz and simultaneously found another way to work in yet another Conor McGregor dig. On the show BS w/ Jake Paul, the titular figure was speaking with UFC bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley about a myriad of topics in the combat sports world.

The conversation eventually moved towards Paul's boxing bout against Nate Diaz with O'Malley expressing that he was interested in seeing an MMA fight between the two. Paul not only maintained that Diaz was ducking him in mixed martial arts competition but also made more inflammatory comments about the former UFC lightweight title challenger's abilities.

When discussing his in-ring encounter with the pride of Stockton, Paul said:

"He's also the weakest puncher I've ever fought. Like when he was hitting me [laughs], I almost like started laughing. I'm not even saying this to talk s*** [laughs]. Out of everyone I've sparred in my whole entire life and everyone I've fought."

"I'm literally not even talking s*** which is why I think it's funny that he dropped Conor [McGregor]. He is the weakest puncher I've ever fought."

Jake Paul prepares to face a pair of hard punchers

Jake Paul will not be taking on individuals that anyone would regard as weak punchers in the next couple of contests that he has booked for 2024.

The 27-year-old will have his eleventh professional boxing bout in the coming weeks and he will be taking on the King of Violence champion in the process. On July 20, Paul will step into the ring under Queensberry Rules against former UFC veteran and BKFC superstar Mike Perry.

'Platinum' will finally settle his feud with Jake Paul that stems from a sparring match the two had before the latter's fight against Ben Askren with each having divided opinions on how the sparring went.

'The Problem Child' will look to halt the run of success that Mike Perry has had in recent years at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida this Summer.

The Ohio native also has a fight lined up for the fall as he will collide with Mike Tyson. This is a bout that had to be rescheduled from the Summer as Paul redirects focus to Perry in this quarter.

'Iron' Mike will throw down with Paul on Nov. 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Though Tyson is regarded as one of the most dangerous knockout artists the sport has ever seen, he is also thirty years Paul's senior and has only had a couple of fights in the last 20 years.
