Jake Paul goads Nate Diaz following their press conference for their upcoming boxing match.
Yesterday was the first official press conference for the Paul Vs. Diaz fight, which is set to take place on August 5 in Dallas, Texas. It would be the first time that the pair would officially come face-to-face after months of back-and-forth on social media.
While there was not as much drama as you might expect, particularly when a Diaz is involved, Paul would of course try to get under the Stockton native’s skin – even mocking him with the use of a monkey toy.
Diaz seemed unbothered by the whole event, and Paul would use this to criticize Diaz for not being the same as what he portrays online.
Well, apparently Paul does not know Diaz all that well, but the 38-year-old could be keeping things low-key following an arrest warrant being issued for him last month. Diaz was involved in a physical altercation following an influencer boxing event in New Orleans, choking out Logan Paul impersonator, Rodney Peterson.
