      Ex-Disney actor Paul will look to use the former UFC star as a stepping stone back to the win column following defeat in his February grudge match with Tommy Fury.
      Diaz, meanwhile, will look to make himself an even more lucrative free agent by handing The Problem Child his second straight defeat.
      MMA legend Diaz is expected to receive the biggest purse of his entire combat sports career for his clash with Paul.
      But his career earnings and net worth are understood to pale in comparison to his rival’s.

      What is Jake Paul’s net worth
      According to Forbes, social media sensation Paul, 26, is worth just shy of £30million ($38m).
      Paul amassed the majority of his wealth through YouTube and other social media platforms long before he set foot inside a boxing ring.
      But he’s said to have pocketed numerous seven-figure purses since lacing up the gloves, with reports claiming he earned more than eight figures for his Saudi showdown with Fury.

      Diaz’s net worth, meanwhile, is said to be just over £6million ($8m).

      Almost the entirety of Stockton slugger’s net worth has been amassed from his 15-year UFC career, where he took part in some of the biggest fights in the sport’s history.
      Although his business ventures outside of fighting have also help top up his overall worth.
      Diaz, 38, took part in one of the biggest fights in UFC history in the summer of 2016 – a rematch with Conor McGregor.
      The fan favourite banked a cool guaranteed purse of £1.5million ($2m) for his majority decision defeat to The Notorious.
      But his overall purse would have been topped up by his respective cut of the global sales for the pay-per-view – which generated 1,650,000 buys.

      Paul goes into his clash with Diaz with KOs of former UFC stars Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley on his resume.
      And he plans to add Diaz’s name to that list in brutal fashion, telling TMZ: “The lion lost.
      “I’ve retreated back into the jungle, I took notes of everything.

      “I got better, I trained, and now this lion is going to come out and maul this dude.

      “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.

      Tommy Fury facing off with KSICredit: Misfits
      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.

      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.

      “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.”
