    “They keep coming from different angles and he’s got some miles on him. He’s been around a long time.
    “[Diaz has] to show that he can take the shot from Jake Paul, because Jake has a natural right hand, it’s got power on it.
    “So if he can take that right hand from Jake Paul, it’s gonna be a tougher fight than people realise, man, because Nate’s going to keep coming.”

    “He was a little bit slow and sleepy, not aggressive. If he wants to become champion again then I’m in his way. I’m IBF mandatory and he should fight me next.” More
