In just a few hours from now, Youtuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul will enter the boxing ring to clash with his most vehement rival Nate Diaz. The celebrity boxing bout is all set to take place in Dallas, Texas, and seemingly picking up to be the talk of the town. This is the day when ‘The Problem Child’ enters the ring for the second time this year, but this time to redeem himself from his previous loss. In February this year, he was given his first defeat by Tommy Fury. However, for Nate Diaz, it is also an integral fight.

Tonight’s fight marks his maiden boxing bout after he wraps his more than a decade-long career in UFC. But that’s not all this matchup represents. It is further symbolic of the year-long rivalry both fighters have been carrying against each other. The fight was conceptualized last year when Jake Paul was to enter the ring against Anderson Silva in Glendale. Nate was present there to support his pal in the undercard for the match. However, Nate reportedly slapped one of Jake’s security persons, thereby heralding a brawl backstage.

As Paul emerged victorious that night, he challenged Nate Diaz that very moment to fight him in the future. Months later, here we are. Ahead of the climax of their brutal rivalry. As the two glove themselves to fight each other, both their supporting clans have arrived in Dallas. In Jake Paul’s corner, tonight will be his Love, supporting him to victory.
