      And he will step into the ring as a beaten man for the first time following defeat to Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia in February.
      So it leaves him fighting to get his career back on track in Dallas against Diaz, who is making his professional boxing debut.
      The bout was initially scheduled for eight rounds until the two struck an agreement to prolong it over ten.
      But Paul came prepared after recruiting strength and conditioning coach Larry Wade in a bid to improve his work rate.

      He said: “I think the biggest thing was bringing in a new strength and conditioning coach that really had a knowledge of really getting me fight ready that none of my other coaches had previously. 
      “That made a world of difference and my coaches just push me way, way harder.
      “Before, in practises I would be going ten rounds, maybe 12, maybe 15, now we go 20, 25 rounds and then jogging afterwards. 
      “This camp has been a lot harder and I’ve had to go to a different place mentally to survive it but it’s made all the difference in terms of my cardio.

      “Now I feel like I can fight forever.” 
      After his split-decision loss to Fury, it sparked a revamp in Paul’s entire coaching team.
      Ex-cruiserweight contender BJ Flores and co-trainer Danny Smith were replaced by boxing legend Shane Mosley and Theotrice Chambers.
      And Paul feels more inspired than ever after losing failed to KO his boxing dreams.
      He said: “It’s interesting that a loss can give you more conviction on what it is that you’re supposed to be doing and what you’re here to do. 
      “It can actually reset you on a proper path and that’s exactly what it did for me. 
      “Now I’m feeling better than ever, stronger than ever, in the best shape of my life, best team around me and I couldn’t be happier. 
      “That’s why I thank Tommy, I thank Tommy for winning. It put my life in the direction that it was supposed to be before and that is such a priceless thing.

      Diaz and Paul – 38 and 26 respectively – refrained from trading blows, although members of their respective security teams ended up in a huge scuffle.
      And a Team Diaz member, according to Paul, is looking to press charges over the incident.
      In a video on his YouTube channel, The Problem Child said: “These little b***h-made wannabe gangsters.
      “They’re already trying to send lawyers?”

      Paul then went on to slam Stockton bad boy Diaz’s “gangster” image.
      The former Disney star continued: “B** a wannabe gangsters.
      “Stockton this, Stockton that… ‘Get a lawyer we got into a little scuffle.’
      “F*****g b***h-made p***y.”

      Paul claims the melee was started by a member of Diaz’s entourage, who is said to have been left with stitches after the dust settled.
      He said: “The guy who swung first on Nate’s team, who initiated the brawl, got pieced up and now has to get stitches and he is apparently going to the hospital.
      “And now they’re trying to claim assault over email, involving lawyers, f***ing p*****s, oh my god.
      “I can’t believe it, I never thought it would be the ‘Stockton gangsters’ who want to go on the email and involve lawyers.

      “That’s hilarious, and they swung first.”
      YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul will look to return to the win column on Sunday morning in his Dallas dust-up with Diaz.
      The social media sensation suffered a split decision defeat to bitter rival Tommy Fury in February February.
      Former UFC lightweight title challenger Diaz, meanwhile, will be making his professional boxing debut against Paul.
      SunSport has reached out to Nate Diaz’s team for comment. More

      by

      But he snubbed a rematch to instead return over the weekend in Texas against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz.
      So Fury, 24, instead turned his attention to KSI, 30, and the two recently announced their all-British blockbuster on October 14 in Manchester.
      And with his eyes potentially on the winner and older brother Logan returning on the same night, Paul will be in the house.
      He said: “I’m super excited for him, I’m happy as a brother to see him train and to see him go back up there and I’m going to be there for sure.

      “It might be a mad house, it might be a mad house but I’m all for it.”
      Paul had planned to beat Fury – who was his first opponent with prior boxing experience – before prising Diaz over to the ring.
      And despite the defeat, he stuck to the plan after the MMA veteran walked out on the UFC.
      But Paul, 26, is instead only focussing on Diaz, 38, pumping the brakes on looking too far into to the future.

      “We’ll see what happens moving on from here. There’s still a lot of big names, a lot of big fights to be made.
      “Again, I’m just going to continue to challenge myself and continue to fight big names in the sport.”

      Jake Paul’s boxing career is ‘on the line’ against Nate Diaz as he ‘may RETIRE’ if he loses biggest fight of his life

      by

      JAKE PAUL fights Nate Diaz with his boxing career on the line – as defeat could spark an early retirement. The YouTuber-turned boxer returns over the weekend against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz in Texas.

      It comes following the first defeat of his polarising prizefighting career, having lost a split-decision to Tommy Fury in February.
      So it leaves his future in boxing at stake when he steps foot between the ropes as a beaten man for the first time.
      Paul’s business partner and advisor Nakisa Bidarian told ESPN: “He may retire if he loses to Nate Diaz.
      “His boxing career is on the line, in terms of being one of the top three or four guys in the entire sport globally.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “I think if he was to lose, he’d just go to being another prospect that’s coming up in the ring.”
      Paul snubbed a rematch with Fury, 24, to instead face Diaz, 38, who is now a free agent after a storied stint with the UFC.
      And the chance to finally fight the MMA veteran and fans’ favourite proved too good to turn down.
      Paul, 26, said: “Nate has a massive name, he’s a massive pay-per-view draw of the UFC times and to me that’s exciting.

      “I haven’t yet fought a massive pay-per-view draw in the prime of their career while they’re still hot and active. 
      “So, to me that’s super exciting and there was that beef that was there and this online banter that was there back and forth that we’ve been trying to and wanting to fight for a long time. 
      “Then finally the stars aligned.”
      Despite the allure of another career-crushing defeat, Paul insisted he only benefited from being beat for the first time.
      He said: “After losing to Tommy I landed myself a bigger name and a bigger fight in terms of the ticket sales, the commercial pay-per-view.
      “Everything is pointing towards this being the biggest event ever and I didn’t think that would be possible after losing to Tommy. 
      “So it’s interesting, I guess you can’t predict these things but I guess the number one thing is if people want to still see my fight then I’ll still have big fights. 
      “It’s really the fanbase that drives me, right. It’s like Deontay Wilder losing a couple of times to Tyson Fury but everyone still wants to see him fight. 
      “It all just depends and it’s really how you go out. If you’re going to get knocked out but if you lose a split-decision and it’s a war and it’s a good fight, it’s a lot easier to come back from that.”

      “With how I’m progressing and the work I’m putting in and the experience I’m getting under my belt, going up to ten rounds now, slowly making my way deeper and deeper into the sport and getting more and more experience.

      I’ve fought Tommy Fury and he doesn’t have the heart of a fighter, don’t be surprised if he crumbles against KSI

      by

      It comes after he beat KSI’s arch enemy Jake Paul by split-decision in Saudi Arabia in February.
      But despite that victory, Fury’s former opponent Anthony Taylor – who he beat in 2021 – has hit out at the former Love Islander.
      Taylor, 34, told Neue Online Casinos: “This is a really, really close 50-50 match-up. Don’t be surprised if KSI knocks Tommy out.
      “We know Tommy can box a bit, but I can tell you from first hand experience, Tommy is like the lion in the wizard of Oz without a heart.

      “If KSI can make him uncomfortable, and stick with for those early rounds, and then land his power shots, don’t be surprised if Tommy crumbles and never gets back up.
      “He doesn’t have the heart of a fighter.”

      Paul snubbed a rematch with Fury to instead return over the weekend against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz.
      And Taylor – who formerly sparred the prankster-turned prizefighter – warned Diaz of his brutal power.

      He said: “I hear Jake Paul is looking superhuman in this camp, he’s training with killers and there’s no question he’s going to send Nate Diaz into retirement.
      “Respect to Diaz, he’s had a great career, but he’s not going to know what’s hit him when Jake detonates on his chin.
      “I’ve tasted Jake’s power and his right hand hits like a baseball bat.
      “Given Diaz’s age and how much smaller he is compared to Jake, I don’t see how Diaz can stand up to that kind of firepower.”

      But Taylor wants to see Paul snatch the McGregor super-fight instead and send both MMA superstars into retirement.
      He said: “If he makes it out of the third round i’d be surprised. Don’t blink.
      “Once he’s knocked out Nate, what I’d like to see Jake do next is bring Conor McGregor into the ring at a catchweight.
      “Conor is a sharpshooter, so it will be more of a difficult fight than Nate, but I expect Jake to rag doll Conor around the ring once he’s found his range and timing.
      “Ending the careers of Conor and Nate back to back would be a hell of an achievement.”
