Professional boxer and outspoken social media influencer, Jake Paul has hit out at critics of his most recent win over former UFC lightweight title challenger, Nate Diaz last weekend in Dallas, Texas – claiming he clearly “embarrassed a legend” in his decision victory.
Paul, who improved to 7-1 as a professional with his comprehensive unanimous decision win in ‘The Lone Star State’, managed to land a decision win over veteran former UFC welterweight challenger, Diaz over the course of 10 rounds.
Jake Paul claims he “embarrassed” Nate Diaz in their boxing clash
“For sure, I walked the dog like I said I was going to do,” Jake Paul said on the Impaulsive podcast. “Put him (Nate Diaz) on a leash, bent him over, embarrassed him, knockout him out of the ring. It’s fun and games and stuff and after he’s acting all nonchalant and people are like, ‘Oh, he didn’t care to be in there, he was just there for the check.’ Shut the f*ck up you stupid people. Of course he wants to win a fight. Of course he goes to win every single fight.”
“He’s inthere talking sh*t the day before saying I can’t fight and I bent him over on the ground, embarrassed him, put him on the canvas and now he’s still talking sh*t saying all of these things acting like he doesn’t care because of course that’s how he’s going to play it. He’s going to act like he doesn’t care, but I really embarrassed him. I embarrassed a legend.”

Despite suffering a rather one-sided loss to professional boxer, Jake Paul in his squared circle debut last weekend, former UFC lightweight title challenger and welterweight contender, Nate Diaz has opened as a colossal betting favorite to defeat the Ohio native in a potential rematch under the unified mixed martial arts ruleset.
Diaz, a one-time lightweight title challenger, made his professional boxing debut over the course of last weekend in Dallas, Texas, suffering a unanimous decision (98-91, 97-92, 97-92) loss to outspoken YouTuber and social media influencer, Paul over the course of 10 rounds in ‘The Lone Star State’.
For Paul, the victory came as the youngster’s seventh professional, also returning him to the winner’s enclosure after a first career defeat earlier this year, coming in the form of a split decision loss to Tommy Fury – half-brother of current WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury in February in Saudi Arabia.
Making his return to combat sports at the pay-per-view event in the American Airlines Center, prior to his loss against Paul, Diaz had most recently headlined UFC 279 back in September of last year, defeating former interim lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson with a fourth round guillotine choke submission win.
And off the back of his decision loss to Paul, Diaz, a life-long mixed martial artist and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, is available as a whopping -1,200 betting favorite to defeat the +650 betting underdog, Paul – if they make good on a potential rematch in mixed martial arts competition.
While a rematch between Diaz and Paul has yet to be made official in the early goings following their boxing clash, best fights to bet on in UFC betting sites are already offering punters and bettors odds on straight, outright betting on a potential rematch in mixed martial arts, as well as potential prop bets and wagers.
“I’m not trying to f*cking talk sh*t,” Nate Diaz said at his post-fight press conference. “He’s boxing high-level MMA guys and he’s sparring hard and working with good people, and then he starts talking sh*t to me throughout the camp. It comes with the territory and all is fair, love and war, I’m always about that. Say whatever you want, that’s fine. But then when you start making things personal, trying to make things personal, saying sh*t he shouldn’t be saying. It hurts people’s feelings when I say this ain’t a real fight.”
“Because if it’s a real fight – remember [the] Logan Paul (lookalike) in New Orleans?” Nate Diaz asked. “No problem. This is not a real fight to be talking to me like that. This is a boxing competition, so that’s what I meant by he can’t really fight. It’s not overly disrespectful, If yu can’t really fight, don’t be talking sh*t.”

As per a press release, a boxing match between YouTuber and podcast host, Logan Paul, and Bellator MMA welterweight grappler, Dillon Danis, is set to take co-main event honors on a DAZN pay-per-view event on October 14. from Manchester, England – as part of a MisFits x DAZN X Series card.
Paul, the elder brother of now 7-1 professional boxer, Jake Paul, will make his return to the squared circle for the first time since he battled former undisputed world champion, Floyd Mayweather back in June 2021 in Florida.
As for Danis, the outspoken grappling talent has yet to compete in combat sports since June 2019 under the Bellator MMA banner, where he moved to 2-0 in professional mixed martial arts courtesy of a first round armbar submission win over Max Humphey.
Logan Paul is set for a return to boxing against debutante, Dillon Danis
Atop the October card in England, the aforenoted Paul’s business partner, fellow YouTuber and rapper, K.S.I. (real name Olajide Olatunji) will take headlining honors in a clash against professional boxer, Tommy Fury – the half-brother of current WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, who is fresh from a February main event win over the aforenoted Jake Paul in Saudi Arabia.
0-1 as a professional, Logan Paul featured in just one professional match prior to his exhibition showing with Mayweather, dropping a split decision loss to the previously mentioned, K.S.I. in November 2019, in a rematch of a prior amateur fight.
Yet to make the walk in professional boxing, the aforenoted, Danis was scheduled to feature in an exhibition bout against K.S.I. in January of this year at Wembley Stadium in England, however, according to a MisFits promoter, the New Jersey grappler was forced to withdraw from the matchup due to a lack of preparation.

Following the cancellation of a scheduled heavyweight rematch with former WBC heavyweight title challenger, Dillian Whyte this weekend in London, former heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua will, in fact, remain on the capital card – officially booking an impromptu pairing with Finnish heavyweight, Robert Helenius.
Joshua, a former heavyweight world champion, was scheduled to rematch Whyte in a potential title-eliminator this weekend at The O2 Arena in London, however, Matchroom Boxing confirmed last week that an “adverse” finding discovered in a drug test sample provided by Whyte, would force the scrapping of the pairing, and the ultimate removal of Whyte from the event.
Robert Helenius drafts in on short notice to fight Anthony Joshua
And in turn, the promotion has since confirmed that the aforenoted, Robert Helenius – who just featured last week, will now fight Anthony Joshua on short-notice.
“Confirmed: @anthonyjoshua will now fight The Nordic Nightmare Robert Helenius this Saturday at The O2!” Matchroom Boxing posted on their official X account. “The full undercard takes palace as originally planned…”
Most recently featuring atop a card in the capital back in April of this year, Watford native, Joshua landed a unanimous decision win over American heavyweight, Jermaine Franklin.
The victory returned Joshua to the winner’s enclosure for the first time since a 2020 title defense win over Kubrat Pulev, before consecutive decision losses against Ukrainian world champion, Oleksandr Usyk.
For Helenius, the Finnish heavyweight managed to return to the winner’s enclosure for the first time since a staggering opening round KO loss to former WBC heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder back in October of last year in Brooklyn – with a win just last weekend.
Featuring in Savonlinna in his native Finland, Helenius would score a third round round TKO win over Mika Mielonen – securing his twenty-first career knockout victory.

Despite the fact he is currently lined up for an expected return to combat sports inside the Octagon and under the UFC banner, veteran striker, Conor McGregor has called for a presumedly, another crack at undefeated professional boxer, Floyd Mayweather – having first attempted to defeat the Michigan puncher back in 2017.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the UFC, most recently featured atop a UFC 264 card in July 2021 in a trilogy rubber match against former interim lightweight titleholder, Dustin Poirier.
Sidelined since then, McGregor, 35, would ultimately fracture his left tibia and fibula in the opening round against Poirier, leading to a doctor’s stoppage TKO loss.
As for Mayweather, on the other hand, following his 2017 standing TKO win over McGregor in Las Vegas, Nevada, the former multiple time and weight world boxing champion has taken part in numerous exhibition bouts against the likes of Logan Paul, Tenshin Nasukawa, and most recently – John Gotti III, which ended in a mass brawl between both groups.
Conor McGregor now switches focus to Floyd Mayweather
However, permanently chasing a rematch with Mayweather following his stoppage loss to the now-46-year-old in his professional boxing debut, McGregor issued a series of now-deleted posts on his official X account – including a voice memo with him calling out, Mayweather.
“Don’t forget, I played ping pong with Floyd’s (Mayweather) head,” Conor McGregor wrote. “I carried him! In the rematch, I am going to use this style of attack but alongside a more destructive set of shots on top also. B4, it was just ping pong, this time it’s ping pong and Babe Ruth with a baseball bat. KO incoming.”
Making his professional boxing debut and sole outing inside the squared circle against Grand Rapids native, Mayweather back in 2017, suffering a tenth round standing TKO defeat to the former at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Former UFC welterweight contender, Nate Diaz has revealed that ahead of his professional boxing debut over the course of the weekend against Jake Paul, he suffered an arm injury – in an attempt to “stay big” ahead of the middleweight pairing.
Diaz, a former lightweight title challenger under the UFC banner to boot, made his professional boxing debut in Dallas, Texas, over the course of the weekend against Ohio puncher and social media influencer, Paul, suffering a comprehensive unanimous decision loss.
Making his first professional ring walk, Stockton native, Diaz was almost finished in the opening round against Paul, and was ultimately dropped in the fourth round, suffering an official knockdown with the former countering with a check left hook.
And despite suffering a unanimous decision loss to the polarizing and outspoken, Paul, Diaz was offered a rematch – strictly under the PFL (Professional Fighters League) banner and under the unified ruleset of mixed martial arts, to the tune of $10,000,000.
Nate Diaz is also alleged to have suffered a knee injury ahead of his boxing debut
Noting his interest in a potential boxing rematch and subsequent mixed martial arts fight with Paul in the future off the back of his judging loss, Stockton veteran, Diaz revealed he suffered an arm injury ahead of their Saturday showdown in Texas.
“I’m not trying to make excuses, but about a month back I was trying to stay big and I hurt my arm a little bit,” Nate Diaz told assembled media during his post-fight press conference. “It was wearing and tearing on my right arm if I was jabbing or doing stuff. … I think I should’ve kept on the outside and do more stuff. It’s all good. There’s no way I’m not going to show up for a fight for something like that, too. You’ve got to go regardless. No matter what.”
“I know what I was coming for,” Nate Diaz explained. “I was coming for a fight with a big, strong, motivated guy trying to take over the world. Nothing surprised me in this sh*t. … I didn’t think I won. He got the knockdown and stuff, so I figured I won a good amount of rounds.”
