Jake Paul is on cloud nine after picking up the first-round knockout victory over Ben Askren. The famous YouTuber has gathered attention around the combat world with his latest feat. As it was with his build-up to the showdown against Askren, he has taken over social media to taunt another mixed martial artist.
He’s brimming with such confidence that he just took to Twitter and made a bold prediction on Nate Diaz. He tweeted, “Nate Diaz gets KO’d in 3”.

For a guy like Paul, who never shies away from speaking his mind, this isn’t much of a surprise, as he regularly engages in trash talk and calls out the biggest names in combat sports. He has done so in the past with Conor McGregor, Dillon Danis, and Ben Askren. Now, the former UFC BMF title challenger is on his radar.
Although he hasn’t really fought a legitimate boxer yet, the YouTuber is slowly but steadily creating a niche for himself in the world of boxing. He is currently standing 3-0 in his short but highlighted boxing career.
Combat fighters who have issued a challenge to Jake Paul lately
After his recent accomplishment, Paul has created a stir amongst the combat world. Two notable fighters have issued a challenge to the YouTuber, namely Dillon Danis and Tommy Fury.
‘El Jefe’ and Paul go a long way in trash-talking with each other. After the latter’s victory, Danis issued a challenge to the boxer and claimed he wants to knock him out cold. Taking to Twitter, he said he needs a contract, and it’s 100% on.
He also further tweeted that he is ready to save the MMA community from the YouTuber turned boxer.

Fury, who like Danis, has a social media trash talk history with Paul, issued a challenge to him. Taking to Twitter, he said, “I’m ready to give the people what they want. @jakepaul”
