Jake Paul immediately called for a fight against UFC legend Nate Diaz following his latest boxing victory over Anderson Silva.
YouTube and social media star Paul secured an unanimous decision win over the 47-year-old to extend his record to 6-0, knocking Silva down in the final round to underline his dominance.
Having also recorded victories over former MMA champions in Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren, Paul now appears to be targeting another name from the world of mixed martial arts in Diaz, who recently beat Tony Ferguson in the last fight on his UFC contract.
Diaz was in attendance at the Desert Diamond Arena in Arizona, watching teammate Chris Avilia in action as he secured a dominant victory over Mike Varshavski on the undercard.
A row later erupted backstage involving Diaz, members of his team, security and someone who was later identified as a member of Paul’s team. Diaz appeared to slap the latter in the heated incident.
