Jake Paul is desperate to get back on track.

Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz Preview:
Jake Paul will return to the ring against former UFC fighter Nate Diaz for a 10-round cruiserweight encounter after suffering his first loss in professional boxing.
It’s difficult to know what to make of Nate Diaz in a boxing match. Although he never won a UFC world title, the 38-year-old was one of MMA’s biggest stars for years, thanks in part to a spectacular upset of Conor McGregor at UFC 196. He skipped a public workout this week in favor of a social media Q&A with supporters, as he is known for his pre-fight mind tricks. Nobody knows how he’ll do in a boxing ring, where he won’t be able to employ any of his MMA weaponry.
The main support features undisputed world featherweight champion Amanda Serrano, who is managed by main event challenger Paul himself, competing for all of her belts against Heather Hardy.
Paul (6-1, 4 KOs) lost to Tommy Fury earlier this year but will hope to challenge Nate Diaz, one of combat sports’ biggest names, in his next fight.
Diaz, 38, has spent nearly two decades in mixed martial arts and has garnered a cult following because to his no-nonsense style to fighting and his spectacular upset win over Conor McGregor in 2016.
The Stockton, California native last battled at UFC 279 in October, when he submitted Tony Ferguson in the penultimate bout of his contract. He’ll now take on “The Problem Child” in a boxing match that’s sure to get a lot of attention.
Despite his defeat against Fury, Paul’s remarkable journey from YouTuber to boxing superstar continues. He’s made a career out of knocking out former UFC competitors, including wins over Ben Askren, Anderson Silva, and Tyron Woodley twice. In their forthcoming bout, the 26-year-old has claimed to be the first fighter in any sport to knock Diaz out cold.
Will Paul defeat another UFC fighter, or will Diaz exploit his underdog status to pull off the biggest upset in his career since submitting Conor McGregor seven years ago?
Amanda Serrano, the undisputed women’s featherweight champion, returns to action in the co-main event against Heather Hardy. Serrano and Hardy faced off in 2019, with Serrano winning unanimously.
Serrano (44-2-1, 30 KOs) was unable to face Katie Taylor in a highly anticipated rematch of their 2022 bout due to an injury, and with Taylor now involved in a feud with Chantelle Cameron, Serrano was forced to hunt for a new opponent.
Hardy (22-2, 4 KOs, 1 NC) began her career with 22 straight victories before losing to Serrano and then to Jessica Camara in 2021.
