Jake Paul is already fueling the grudge that is being built between him and his next opponent- Nate Diaz.
The two are set to lock horns on 5th August at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. The bout will see Diaz making his pro boxing debut, all while Paul’s return from his maiden career defeat against Tommy Fury.
The fight is scheduled for eight rounds, but the former UFC welterweight recently called for a full 12-round matchup, along with accusing Paul for being on steroids.
“12 rounds. Ur on steroids so let’s put that shit to work,” Diaz wrote on Twitter.

The tweet soon came under the radar of “The Problem Child”, who issued a fiery response to Diaz accusing him for being on steroids. Aside from calling both Diaz and his “boyfriend” Conor McGregor as “juice heads”, Paul added that the VADA will “Stockton Slap” Diaz, and even called for not 12, but a 15-round fight.
“You speaking to me Nathan? We haven’t forgotten that you tested positive for steroids. You and your boyfriend Connor are juice heads. Let’s do 15 rounds and see how good those cannabis corroded lungs are. VADA going to be coming to Stockton to slap you up.” – Paul responded.
