Nate Diaz competed in his first-ever professional boxing match against Jake Paul in one of the biggest crossover boxing matches in 2023. However, he did not emerge victorious on that day. But now, the Stockton native has hinted that he might consider a rematch against ‘The Problem Child’ in December.
The Stockton native may not have had an eventful outing against Jake Paul in his first boxing match, but the fight was full of drama. Although the YouTube star controlled most of the fight, Nate Diaz tried to pump up the crowd by attempting MMA moves on Paul. Now, it seems like he wants to run it back again.

After Jake Paul secured a unanimous decision victory over Nate Diaz a few months ago, he proposed a rematch. However, that rematch was not a boxing rematch. Rather, it was a proposal for an MMA fight in the PFL. Paul even up the ante by offering the former UFC star $10 million to fight him inside the SmartCage. But that is not the rematch Diaz has in his mind.
