The struggle to mark Jake Paul’s comeback is about to begin. The YouTuber-turned-boxer will take against Nate Diaz on Saturday at the American Airlines Centre in Dallas, Texas. For fans of the Paul brothers, it will be a significant day since Logan Paul is slated to face Ricochet at WWE’s SummerSlam on the same day.

Diaz may not be Paul’s hardest battle to date, but given Diaz’s renown and recognition, this match might end up being Paul’s largest ever. Paul, a YouTube celebrity, has gone 6-1 as a professional boxer in recent years, including victories against ex-UFC champions Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva, as well as a KO of Ben Askren, who was previously an MMA champion before signing the UFC.

Boxing and mixed martial arts are two distinct sports, and Paul has shown to be a good boxer despite his inexperience. The YouTube sensation turned professional boxer sees himself dispatching Diaz as his final opponent. Due to the total buildup and strong rivalry with a succession of trash-talk, fans have great hopes for this match. One of the biggest names the Ultimate Fighting Championship has ever created is undoubtedly Nate Diaz. Diaz is a renegade. His arguments frequently end up in news conferences. He and his brother Nick are infamous for having fights outside of the octagon, in public places.

Due to his boxing background, Jake Paul is now seen as the heavy favourite to win the contest. Many were taken aback by his remarkable knockdown of Tyron Woodley, which elevated his professional career. Nate Diaz, on the other hand, is a seasoned UFC fighter with a history of submission victories. He also has a reputation for having a close striking range, which may be advantageous.

Both men are well-known figures in the world of combat sports. Whether or not purists think their battle is legal, it’s certain to generate a lot of revenue. Jake Paul has trained with 8-0 middleweight fighter Joshua Pagan in preparation for Nate Diaz. The 23-year-old frequently sparred with Paul and appeared to be pleased by his abilities.

Diaz was renowned for his amazing tenacity in MMA. In 35 professional fights, he has never been knocked out completely despite bleeding very quickly. Paul has demonstrated a one-punch knockout ability throughout the course of his boxing career, so Diaz will need to be cautious.
Diaz has never competed in a professional boxing contest, making tape analysis impossible. But his UFC performance history provides a decent indication of how he will approach his first fight.

As obvious as Paul’s physical prowess are Diaz’s advantages in terms of toughness and experience fighting on a large stage. Diaz has a chance to prevail. In MMA, he was a competent boxer, and his intangible qualities—such as endurance, tenacity, and experience—should support his technical proficiency. Our belief is that Paul will have a modest technical disadvantage while facing the former UFC champion resulting in Diaz’s victory.
