Of course, Paul received many angry attitudes from MMA boxers. But at the same time, looking at the money that Ben Askren earned, many boxers also wanted to challenge Paul.
If there is a prominent name about the boxing array in MMA, surely must mention Nate Diaz.
On his personal Twitter page, Jake Paul wrote: “Nate Diaz will be knocked out by me in 3 rounds.”
Nate Diaz is famous as a MMA boxer with a good level of Boxing, along with the ability to withstand high blow. Diaz had only lost because of Josh Thomson's kick in 2013 and the referee's obstruction in the match against Jorge Masvidal in 2019.
If you have to compare with Jake Paul, Nate Diaz will definitely have a much fierce match than Ben Askren. However, this boxer is still contracting with UFC, if he wants to fight the boxing with Paul, he must have the consent of the “tycoon” Dana White.
In addition to Nate Diaz, former UFC Tyron Woodley is also a prominent name in the upcoming rivals of Jake Paul.
Particularly Ben Askren, he announced that he would not play any more matches to focus on the wrestling training. Askren said this defeat made him “ashamed”, but with the large amount of money it brought, he did not regret on the floor with Jake Paul.
