"Shut up u cringey Disney actor" - Jake Paul gets an earful from fans for saying he lost respect for Nate Diaz

The combat sports world is eagerly awaiting the clash between Jake Paul and Nate Diaz, two polarizing figures from different realms of combat sports. Diaz, a UFC veteran renowned for delivering some of the most memorable moments inside the octagon, takes on Paul, the YouTube sensation who has been making waves as a boxer since 2020.

The boxing world is abuzz with anticipation as the Paul vs. Diaz clash on August 5 draws near. The Stockton native recently posted a video of him from training camp, showcasing crisp boxing combinations, along with the poster of the upcoming clash.

Jake Paul launched a scathing attack on Diaz in the comments section of the post for his alleged lack of respect towards the promotional efforts for the fight. 'The Problem Child' also accused the former UFC star of failing to appreciate the guidance and opportunities provided by the Youtuber-turned-boxer.

Paul wrote:

"You had my respect for your legacy until you started treating this promotion without respect. I made you my partner, gave you the blueprint to running your own events and you have done nothing but be the same Nate Diaz that worked for the bald man [Dana White]…instead of being your own man. Now I’m going to enjoy knocking you the fu*k out."

Needless to say, Diaz, who commands a cult-like following, witnessed an outpouring of support from his loyal fans, who defended their beloved star and passionately expressed their discontent with Paul's remarks:

"Shut up you cringy Disney actor."

"@jakepaul you are clearly delusional. You will find out on the 5th what it's like to sh*t yourself."

"Can't wait until he knocks your a** out."
