Jake Paul, a popular YouTuber turned boxer, is yet again making the rounds on the internet. His unexpected rise in the boxing industry has him at odds with several legends in boxing and MMA. Despite winning the bout against Nate Diaz on August 5, the verbal jabs are yet to stop. In a recent turn of events, Diaz allegedly ducked a $10 million MMA fight against ‘The Problem Child’ as revealed in an interview with TMZ Sports. But did Nate really back out from the challenge? Or is this one of Jake’s tactics to rail up his opponents?
Responding to Jake’s claims, Diaz fired back at him on X with a tweet of his own. There is no official confirmation on whether the $10 million MMA fight will turn into a reality. But a feud on X between the two fighters is gaining a lot of attention from fans and members of the community. While Jake has proved his superiority in boxing, can he do the same in an all-out brawl in MMA? Amid this back and forth between Jake and Nate with $10 million on the line, Jake’s trainer chimed in.

Hot demand from Jake Paul’s trainer
Paul’s trainer, BJ Flores, is a former professional boxer turned trainer. Flores has been in Jake’s corner throughout his successive wins in boxing. So, responding to Nate’s recent tweet to Jake, Flores took to X demanding Nate to move forward. Flores said in a tweet, “Champ, Just give Jake credit for decisively beating you and move forward. No need to discuss hypotheticals when you both signed up for a boxing match and made millions. Respect for a great effort.”

In their last bout, Jake took home the win fair and square. But many in the community had questioned, can Jake duplicate the result in an MMA fight? Regardless of Nate’s impressive career report card, at the end of the day, he is an MMA fighter, not a boxer. What’s more, boxing is a totally different ball game, and given Nate is approaching his 40s, people were expecting the same result.
