Jake Paul gives the green signal for a potential Nate Diaz fight after settling business with Tommy Fury

Jake Paul, the controversial YouTuber turned boxer, has announced that after settling his business with Tommy Fury in their highly anticipated grudge match over the weekend at the Diriyah Arena in Saudi Arabia, he is ready to take on his next challenge.

The internet sensation has set his sights on Nate Diaz, a renowned MMA fighter now a free agent, and is eager to step into the ring with him for his next fight.

Jake Paul and Nate Diaz have previously engaged in a war of words, with both fighters expressing a desire to face each other in the ring. Diaz has previously hinted at the possibility of fighting Paul, even making reference to the YouTuber in his post-fight speech after his last UFC fight.

In response to Ariel Helwani's query about his potential fight with former UFC superstar Nate Diaz on the most recent episode of The MMA Hour podcast, 'The Problem Child' stated:

"I think they [Diaz and team] are ready. I’m getting through Sunday and we’re gonna line that one up ASAP. I think that’s next. I think that’s what the fans want, and that’s who I want. There’s been a lot of back and forth, we’ve said our stuff, but it’s time to get down to business."

He further added:

“I want to do one fight boxing, one fight MMA, but I’m not sure if Nate’s team is like fully aligned on that yet. Or I don’t know if they realize how serious I am about that. I think they thought I was just doing it for hype, but I’m dead a**."

Paul, on his part, has continued to taunt Diaz, challenging him to a boxing match and even offering to face him in an MMA bout afterwards. Despite Jake Paul's willingness to engage in an MMA fight, he admits he is unsure if Diaz will accept such an offer.
