The grudge match is set to be an eight-round affair – but MMA fan favourite Diaz wants more rounds to teach The Problem Child a lesson.
Early on Saturday morning, the Stockton slugger tweeted: “12 rounds.”
Diaz, 38, followed that up by demand by accusing YouTuber turned-boxer Paul of taking steroids.
He added: “Ur on steroids so let’s put that shit to work.”
Diaz’s legion of followers were quick to react to the allegation, with one saying: “Damn…shots fired!”
Another said: “Get ’em, bro.”
And another said: “Easy money.”
One remarked: “Nate the Great.”

He said: “You speaking to me Nathan? We haven’t forgotten that you tested positive for steroids.”
He added: “Let’s do 15 rounds and see how good those cannabis-corroded lungs are.
“VADA going to be coming to Stockton to slap you up.”
Diaz’s positive test in 2019 returned traces of the banned Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator LGD-4033 – which the United States Anti-Doping Agency discovered was the result of his ingesting a tainted multivitamin.
Paul has faced several doping allegations since entering the boxing world, including one from UFC president Dana White.
A fortnight after his rematch with Tyron Woodley, he said: “Dana, I accepted every part of your challenge. I said I would fight [Jorge] Masvidal in MMA.
