Nick Diaz

Should Paul want to take the rivalry with the Diaz further, he could turn his attention to older brother Nick.

Nick, 40, was in attendance at the fight and confirmed he wants to box in the future and has his eyes on Paul.

He said: “I’d love to entertain the idea of moving on in on whoever they got for me. So, if they can do round two and if [Nate] ain’t going to do it, I’ll take it.”
