      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.”

      In fact, he insisted the first loss of his career only strengthened his goal to one day reach the pinnacle of the sport.
      Paul said: “My realistic ambition is becoming a world champion. And that hasn’t changed, I’ve only gained more conviction around it. 
      “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 have all the tools, the punching power, the strength, the cardio, the speed so really it’s just about the thousands and thousands and thousands of repetitions that I need to become a world champion.

      “But I’m sparring against them, working with them in the gym and that’s why I know that I can do it.” 
      Paul, 26, lost by split-decision to Fury, 24, in Saudi Arabia, and saw his chances of being ranked by the WBC at cruiserweight go up in smoke≥
      The American does not know what weight division he will look to try and win a world title but he believes it will come before his 30th birthday.
      Paul said: “I’ve only been doing this for three and a half years and at 26 years old.

      Paul snubbed a rematch with Fury to instead return over the weekend in Texas against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, live on DAZN PPV.
      He still plans to avenge his only ever loss but the chance to finally settle his feud with Diaz, 38, proved too good to turn down.

      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

      TOMMY FURY has been accused of lacking the “heart of a fighter” which could lead to his demise against KSI. Fury, 24, is set to face YouTube, music and crossover boxing star KSI, 30, on October 14 in Manchester.

      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.”

      “You only lose once you quit BOYYY!!
      “And on Saturday I will show the world that sometimes a loss puts you on the path you were supposed to be on. #PaulDiaz.”
      Paul takes on Diaz two months before his YouTube rival KSI faces Fury at the AO Arena in Manchester on October 14.
      Paul’s loss to Fury has pushed back a clash with KSI – a bout that would attract widespread attention online.
      But the American internet sensation insists he is not bothered about losing to Fury.
      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.”

      I’ve sparred Jake Paul and his right hand is like being hit with a baseball bat, Nate Diaz won’t be able to take it

      JAKE PAUL’S punching power has been compared to getting hit with a baseball bat, in a stark warning to Nate Diaz. The YouTuber-turned-boxer returns to the ring over the weekend in Texas against ex-UFC star Diaz.

      It will be Paul’s fourth MMA veteran opponent, having beaten Ben Askren, 39, Tyron Woodley, 41, and Anderson Silva, 48.
      Cage fighter and now influencer boxer Anthony Taylor, 34, sparred Paul, 26, in preparation for two of those bouts.
      And he warned of the brutal power the American has in his backhand, believing it will be too much for Diaz, 38, to handle.
      Taylor told Neue Online: “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.

      “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.”
      Diaz walked out on the UFC to cross over to the boxing ring, leaving behind a trilogy decider with Conor McGregor, 34.

      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.”

      But it sparked a complete overhaul in Paul’s camp as he revamped his team with new coaches and schedules.
      So when reflecting on the night he thought would never come, Paul is grateful for Fury beating him.
      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.

      The defeat in the Middle East proved a blockbuster success, with over 800,000 box office buys.

      But Paul predicts his comeback bout against ex-UFC star Diaz, 38, will top those numbers despite losing his unbeaten record.
      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.

      He explained: “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.

      I was one of Jake Paul’s sparring partners for Nate Diaz fight, two things really impressed me and won my respect

      JAKE PAUL revamped his entire training team following his first loss. The YouTuber-turned boxer was beaten in February, suffering a split-decision defeat to Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia.

      So for his return bout over the weekend – against Nate Diaz – Paul went back to the drawing board.
      He parted ways with ex-cruiserweight contender BJ Flores and his co-trainer Danny Smith.
      And instead Paul re-hired boxing legend Shane Mosley, his first ever trainer, to come into the camp as an advisor.
      And Theotrice Chambers will now act as head coach in the American’s Puerto Rico base camp.

      Paul, 26, has also worked with some top-flight sparring partners, including 8-0 middleweight Joshua Pagan, 23.
      And Pagan, whose promoter Dmitriy Salita put him in touch with Paul’s team, gave an insight into the training camp.
      He told SunSport: “This camp was really great. We trained at 10am every day, followed by strength and conditioning later in the day.
      “It was pretty similar to what a day in my camp is like. Jake’s work ethic and willingness to learn is what impressed me about him.

      “He comes into the gym focused and ready to work, and I respect that because that is how I am when it is time to work.”
      Pagan and his father had initially expressed interest in working with Paul’s coach Chambers. 
      So Salita then made it known and before long the prospect flew out to sunny Puerto Rico for sparring.

      Paul prepares to face his fourth ex-UFC star, having beaten Ben Askren, 39, Tyron Woodley, 41, and Anderson Silva, 48.
      And Pagan expects a similar result, as he said: “My prediction for the Nate Diaz fight is a unanimous decision for Jake.
      “I think Jake just has too many tools in his arsenal, and what he is learning in this camp is going to pay off and show come fight night.”
      Paul snubbed a rematch with Fury, 24, to instead face Diaz, 38, but Pagan has urged him to go back in for the sequel right after.
      He said: “Jake should definitely have the rematch with Tommy Fury after this fight.
      “I feel like he will win this time around due to his changes in camp and preparation.”

      Fury, the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson, is the bookies’ favourite to win the Manchester melee.
      And Paul reckons TNT won’t let KSI – real name Olajide Williams – see the final round.
      He told Mirror Fighting: “I think Tommy knocks him out in like less than five rounds.”
      KSI thought he’d picked up his fourth win in a row in May when he stopped self-proclaimed billionaire Joe Fournier in the second round of their Wembley Arena war.

      But replays showed he hit pal of former heavyweight champion David Haye with an illegal elbow and the KO was overturned to a No Contest.
      And Paul wouldn’t be surprised if his long-time rival made use of his right elbow again.
      The Problem Child added: “I mean [KSI] is doing these gimmick WWE fights up until now.
      “Tommy is his first real test, but who knows, he might throw an elbow on Tommy, too.”
