Just days after Nick Diaz’s manager told MMAjunkie.com that the Strikeforce champion is eyeing a boxing match with Jeff Lacy, the veteran pugilist has answered the challenge.

In fact, according to statements released by his camp, Lacy is interested in “heading to his turf and [putting] my fist in his mouth and silencing him.”

Cesar Gracie, Diaz’s manager, told MMAjunkie.com this past week that his fighter had set his sights on Lacy, a former IBF super-middleweight champion, after a potential boxing match with Fernando Vargas fell apart.
