Nate Diaz Challenges Boxing Heavyweights
Nate Diaz, known for his UFC career, recently called out heavyweight boxing stars Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, and Deontay Wilder on social media. This comes after his defeat to YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul in a boxing debut last year.
Fans Point Out Diaz's Loss to Jake Paul
Despite Diaz's call-out to top boxing names, fans were quick to remind him of his loss to Jake Paul. Diaz was defeated over ten rounds, including being floored during the fight.
Future Plans for Diaz
After walking out on the UFC following his fight with Tony Ferguson in September 2022, Diaz still has unfinished business with Conor McGregor. The two fighters are tied at one apiece in their trilogy series, with McGregor looking to settle the score with Diaz in September after a bout with Michael Chandler in June.
Dana White's Response
UFC president Dana White dismissed the possibility of a Diaz vs. McGregor rematch, stating, "Yeah, I’m not doing that fight." McGregor had expressed his desire for the rematch to take place on Mexican Independence Day.
