When is Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz fight? Date, UK time, undercard, live stream and TV Channel

Jake Paul faces Nate Diaz in August, taking on the UFC star in another professional boxing match, with the ten round bout taking place in Texas.

Paul lost via split-decision to Tommy Fury in his last fight, with the British fighter inflicting the first defeat of his career. However, he will take some encouragement from having been able to push a vastly more experienced opponent, a fully professional and licensed boxer in the form of Fury, the distance.

Having already beaten Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva, Paul will now return to fighting against big names from the world of UFC. He will take on one of the most recognisable names from the past decade in the UFC, with Diaz now a free agent having left the company earlier this year.

Paul has revealed that his plan was always to take on Diaz after facing Fury, with the 6ft welterweight representing a new challenge in the hops of going one step further than Conor McGregor managed to knock out Diaz.

“Nate Diaz was always the plan after Tommy," Paul said. "That was what I said. Even in the build-up to Tommy, I was like it's Nate Diaz after Tommy Fury. So that was always the plan… This is a big fight. This is a fight that I've wanted for a long time. [Nate] got out of his UFC contract and this is probably the biggest fight of the year, only topping me versus Tommy.

"I want to make big events, big fights happen and strike while the iron's hot. He was a free agent. Let's run it. Make it happen. Settle the shit talk. I'm ready for war. I'm excited to be here. Thank you for having me out, Dallas. I love y'all and I'm going to do what Conor McGregor couldn't do, and I'm going to knock
