Jake Paul will step back into the ring this weekend when he takes on UFC veteran Nate Diaz in Texas.
‘The Problem Child’ will be looking to avenge February’s defeat to Tommy Fury, which saw the American endure the first defeat of his career.
Prior to that loss, Paul was unbeaten following triumphs over Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren.
A win for Paul could finally open the door for the blockbuster influencer fight between himself and KSI with talks so far having failed to materialise.
Diaz, meanwhile, is making his professional boxing debut and will compete for the first time in any discipline since winning his final UFC clash against Tony Ferguson in September.
Here is your full briefing ahead of today’s showdown, including what time the Ring Walks are expected and how to watch on TV and live stream in the UK.
