FIGHT PREDICTION
Jake Paul lost out to Tommy Fury last time out but will hope to get back to winning ways as he takes on UFC legend Nate Diaz. The latter is a huge name in the MMA world and will look to get one over on the man who has turned his hand to boxing. Paul has shown some decent skills to date but is far from the finished article. For Diaz, he will hope to transfer the skills he built up over his brilliant career in the octagon into the boxing ring but in his debut fight, he may find it tough going against a man with a bit more experience and while the 38-year-old may prove a tough opponent to finish off, Paul should be able to come out victorious.
