YouTuber sensation Jake Paul is about to take his combat sport career to the next level as he signed with Professional Fighters League for a boxing and MMA debut fight this year.
Paul will compete in the newest division of the PFL, the Super Fight, but the date and opponent are yet to be determined.
Currently, he is unbeaten in boxing after knocking out former UFC legend and sports athlete. At 6-0, his biggest win yet was defeating the legendary Anderson Silva.
“This is about changing MMA, disrupting, innovating, and creating the next big league,” he said in the New York Times, first to report the development.
Paul, however, made it known already who he wanted to fight and it was none other than the bad boy Nate Diaz.
“I know this is such a tough sport, and it’s not going to be easy, but if I could do it in boxing, I could do it in MMA. …
“I’m so dedicated to this that I offered Nate Diaz a two-fight deal. First we box. Then six months later we fight MMA in the PFL smart cage and lay it all on the line. If that’s not balls, then I don’t know what is. Nate Diaz, I’m down to fight you in your own damn sport. It’s a two-fight deal. Let’s make it happen,” he said.
