Jake Paul was aiming to fight Nate Diaz in an MMA match in the PFL. The two fought in boxing with ‘The Problem Child’ getting his hand raised against the UFC veteran. The PFL had made offers to both Jake Paul and Nate Diaz, but apparently, Diaz declined the match.

Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz in MMA?

Yesterday, Paul hosted the PFL press conference between heavyweights Francis Ngannou vs. Renan Ferreira. This is the UFC lineal heavyweight champion taking on the Bellator and PFL king Ferreira.

YouTube celebrity Jake Paul has been able to make a name for himself in the world of boxing taking on big-name UFC athletes. His wins include Tyron Woodley, Nate Diaz, and Anderson Silva, among others.

But Paul wants an MMA fight in the PFL. According to him, the fight was offered to UFC veteran Nate Diaz but the Stockton-born athlete declined the match. It would be Jake Paul’s debut in professional MMA after several wins in professional boxing.

At the PFL press conference yesterday, Jake Paul explained what’s needed for him to compete in MMA. Paul said:

“We’ve made offers. Nate Diaz ducked it. It’s just about having the right name. And I’m ready. I want an MMA fight. I think it would be super, super fun. I don’t think a boxer in their prime has gone over to MMA … I’m down but I just want a big name and a big fight.”

The US-born Nate Diaz had a lengthy career in the UFC, making his debut in 2007 and leaving the organization in 2022 after having an impressive 27 matches. Afterward, Diaz competed in boxing fights against the likes of Jorge Masvidal, who he defeated, and Jake Paul, who he lost to. Nate Diaz is likely best known for his matchups against the superstar Conor McGregor. Later this year, Jake Paul will box against all-time great Mike Tyson.

Mike Tyson knows that to beat Jake Paul, he’ll have to unleash the best within.

Aside from a surprising shove during their latest face-off, the buildup between Tyson and Paul has been mostly cordial, particularly on the end of the former heavyweight world champion who has shied away from all the trash-talk and drama that usually surrounds a typical influencer fight.

But that doesn’t mean Tyson’s mean streak isn’t still buried deep inside him.

During a recent appearance on the IMPAULSIVE podcast with Logan Paul, Tyson revealed that while he’s still haunted by his past and the man he once was, that version of himself is still alive and well and is always itching to break free.

“Here’s what I’ve learned from prior experience,” Tyson replied. “When that tough guy Tyson comes out when it’s not necessary for it to come out, I’m always in handcuffs. So I’m very careful when that guy comes out, because they break out the handcuffs. Every time I drink or get ready to fight I break out in handcuffs.

“It’s unfortunate that I have to fight and be that guy. I wish I could stop that guy. That guy haunts me. I wish that guy died. But he’s here to stay … He wants to come back every second of my life, it’s so easy for him to come back. I just think of when I was younger and people bullied me.”

Mike Tyson slams critics of the age gap between himself and jake paul

Much of the criticism surrounding Tyson’s return to the ring has revolved around his age and the fact that he’s a whopping 31 years older than his opponent. Addressing the haters, ‘Iron’ had a very simple message.

“If you think I’m too old for this fight, you need to come tell me to my face,” Tyson said.

“This is all about jealousy. They wish they could do it. They can’t. They can’t do it, they’re out there making up crazy bulls— but they wish so bad they were in our position. They wish so bad they could take care of their families the way we can. The way people yell our names. They’re world champions. No one knows their names. The sh*t talkers get all the money, the sh*t talkers get all the attention, the sh*t talkers get everything. We get a bad wrap, but we also get everything else.”

Tyson vs. Paul will emanate from the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Friday, November 15. The event will air live on Netflix and be available to the streaming giant’s 260+ million subscribers at no extra charge.

Floyd Mayweather on Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson: ‘He can continue to steal money’

Former multiple time and weight world champion, Floyd Mayweather has praised Jake Paul’s entrepreneurial skills to lure former heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson into a November boxing match – claiming the Ohio native is simply “stealing” money.

Paul, an outspoken professional boxer and social media influencer, turned in his tenth professional victory earlier this year against UFC alum turned BKFC (Bare Knuckle FIghting Championship) star, Mike Perry – stopping the Flint native with a stunning sixth round knockout win in Tampa, Florida.

And now booked once more to take on former heavyweight world champion, Tyson in a much-scrutinized professional boxing match in November, Paul’s skills to apparently “steal” money from fans and promoters is second to none.

“What he’s (Jake Paul) doing is kinda cool,” Floyd Mayweather told Treasure Hustle. “If he can continue to steal money and they match him the way they match him, I can’t knock his hustle.”

“If they can match him the way that they have been, more power to him,” Floyd Mayweather explained. “

Despite his inactivity and time away from the squared circle, Tyson predicted earlier this week how he would land a vicious and definitive win over Paul when they share the boxing ring before the end of the year in ‘The Lone Star State’.

“Very painfully,” Mike Tyson warned Jake Paul during their press conference overnight in New York. “Be in shape. Be in good shape because your health depends on it.”

“I think he’s (Mike Tyson) a mitt warrior,” Jake Paul replied. “The Instagram videos are cute but we’ll see what happens in the ring on November 15. At the end of the day, we’ll see if he’s still got it.”

“Listen, as soon as I catch this guy, he’s going to be running around,” Mike Tyson responded. “As soon as I catch this guy, it’s going to be totally over. He’s going to run like a thief.”

Michael Bisping Slams ‘Pathetic’ Jake Paul Over Mike Tyson Fight: ‘Don’t Give Me This Fighter Bulls***’

Former UFC world champion Michael Bisping is not impressed with Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson, the celebrity boxing match. After the press conference between Iron Mike and the YouTube star, ‘The Count’ Bisping had a few thoughts on the matchup.

Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson

The Problem Child’ Jake Paul has become a blockbuster-selling boxer who has defeated opponents such as Mike Perry, Ben Askren, Nate Diaz, and former UFC champions Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva. The US-born athlete was able to transition his YouTube into a successful prize-fighting career. The 26-year-old also aims to have to compete in MMA under the PFL banner.

Mike Tyson is one of the most renowned heavyweight boxers in history. The 58-year-old was feared for his tremendous knockout power. In 1988, the US-born striker held the WBA, WBC, IBF, and The Ring heavyweight championships and had a perfect unbeaten record. Tyson stopped fighting in 2005 but took an exhibition match in 2020 taking Roy Jones Jr. to a draw.

Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson was booked for earlier in 2024 but ‘Iron’ Mike had to drop out due to an injury. The Netflix fight has been rescheduled for November 15.

Michael Bisping on Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson

At 26 years old, Jake Paul is a young man in his physical prime. Mike Tyson is 58 years old and has not been very active over the past 20 years. This fight has disgusted former UFC champion and Hall of Fame fighter Michael Bisping. On his YouTube channel, Bisping said:

“Jake, I hate to point out the obvious, that makes you look pathetic. You just admitted that you’re going up against an old man, who is a legend of course, but he’s not that guy anymore. Jake Paul, he’s a total — he’s just a tool bag. I’m not going to lower myself and swear. Look at him. It’s nice to see that he’s finally getting booed and the kind of response that he deserves.

“You are a joke. You are a disgrace to the combat world. You’re an imposter. You’re a wannabe. You’re a fake. Challenge yourself, you pathetic man, you pathetic individual. Fighting is about challenging yourself. Granted, business. Killing it in that regard. But don’t give me this fighter bulls***. That’s what gets on my nerves.”

Discussing the age difference between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, ‘The Count’ continued:

“The man’s almost 60. He’s almost a pensioner. … Mike Tyson was a terrifying individual. To go up against that man, in his prime, Jesus Christ, he was one of the scariest individuals that we’ve ever seen throughout any combat sport. The man was a straight killer. Was. Again, the key word.

“I’m 45. When I was 25, I was a different person. I was a maniac. I was out of control and I would have fought anybody. And if I was Jake Paul right now, at 26 years old, and you said to me, ‘We’re going to give you someone that’s 58 years old,’ I’d have been like, ‘Oh my god. You’re going to pay me to do this?

“You’re going to pay me $40 million, whatever the price tag is, to go out there and beat up a guy like that? Oh my god.’ I would have said, ‘Stick it up your ass. Give me someone who is my age.’ Because that is not competition and that is what a true fighter would say and should say.” [Ht MMAFighting]

Sharing the stage last night with incoming foe, Jake Paul ahead of their rescheduled boxing match at the end of the year, former world heavyweight champion star, Mike Tyson has vowed to defeat the outspoken Ohio native “very painfully” when they share the squared-circle.

Tyson, a former undisputed heavyweight world champion boxer, was scheduled to take on the surging Paul earlier this summer, before a medical condition including a flare up of a prior ulcer condition, forced his withdrawal from a matchup – and cancelling the pairing.

For Paul, the outspoken puncher remained on the July card, taking on former UFC welterweight contender and BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship) star, Mike Perry – stopping the Flint native with a spectacular sixth round knockout win in Tampa, Florida.

And now rebooked to take on New York knockout savage Tyson on a Netflix broadcast pay-per-view card in November – the latter has vowed to finish Paul with a “painful” finish when they finally settle their differences in a much-scrutinized boxing fight.
