      “Nate Diaz is considered one of the most bad-ass fighters of all time, but he and his team have been running their mouths for too long.”
      Paul, who is 6-1 in the ring, continued: “People tell me Nate has been training with Andre Ward for years. That he has insane stamina. That he refuses to back down. Good for f***ing Nate.
      “I haven’t forgotten about the slap backstage in Arizona, and on August 5, a Problem Child is going to piece up and knock out the Stockton G.”
      Diaz beat Tony Ferguson at UFC 279 in September in the last fight of his deal with the MMA company.
      Boxing has been a staple throughout the 37-year-old Diaz’s near two-decade career.
      He has had a hugely successful MMA career with 22 fights and a victory over Conor McGregor.

      “I f***ed up Conor for acting out and now here I am again, like a Super Hero of the Real Fight game, the King of the Real Fight game.” More

      Fury’s multi-million melee with the MMA knockout artist came in the wake of his undisputed heavyweight title fight with Usyk falling through.
      And AJ – who suffered back-to-back losses to the undefeated Ukrainian – can’t help but feel like Fury intentionally dodged the bullet by not fighting the slick southpaw.
      The former two-time unified heavyweight champion said: “Usyk was my mandatory and I ended up losing to him.
      “I would have loved to have gone to Saudi to compete with someone else and make a s*** load of money and swerve my mandatory.

      “I would still be champion if I could do that but I didn’t get that opportunity and I had to take it on the chin.
      “But life isn’t always fair.”
      Frustration with the stagnation of the division aside, Joshua understands why Fury opted to take a huge payday for what potentially could be an easy night at the office.
      The Watford warrior said: “Fury has to do what Fury has to do for him.

      “If you want to hold him accountable, then yes he should be fighting active fighters.
      “And he should wait until the end of his career, when he’s not champion anymore, to compete with MMA fighters.

      “When all is said and done it will just be part of his legacy.
      “And I think we will all forget about it sooner or later.”
      Joshua will be back on the road to title contention a week on Saturday when he rematches long-time rival Dillian Whyte at The O2 Arena.
      A win over the Brixton Body Snatcher will set up a long-overdue grudge match with former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, which promoter Eddie Hearn expects to take place in January. More
