Jake Paul reveals which round he plans to KO Nate Diaz as he vows to leave ex-UFC star ‘diced up’ in grudge match
JAKE PAUL has revealed the round he plans to end his Texas tussle with Nate Diaz.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer will welcome the former UFC superstar to the squared circle in a Dallas dust-up on August 5.
Paul, 26, will look to use Diaz to return to the win column following defeat in his grudge match to Tommy Fury in February.
The Problem Child is eyeing a short night at the office, with a fourth-round stoppage at the forefront of his mind.
He said: “I’m ready, it’s not going to go that long.
“I think he’s gonna be sharp for a couple of rounds but there’s nothing he can do to stop me.
“I’m faster, I’m stronger. I’m the better boxer. He’s gonna be coming forward.
“He doesn’t have head movement. He’s trying to pressure me. He’s gonna get diced up.
“I see it ending in four rounds or less.”
Diaz, 38, has fully immersed himself in the Sweet Science ahead of his multi-million-pound payday.

But one of the Stockton slugger’s sparring partners has been less than impressed with his boxing prowess.
London 2012 silver medallist Esquiva Falcao said: “At first I thought he was tired, and in the end it looked like he was dying.
“His fighting style is crazy. You look at him and say, ‘Oh, he’s tired,’ and then we started sparring.
“Robert told me in the second round, ‘He’s tired already, hold back a little bit and keep the rhythm so he does at least ten rounds.’
“I held back and kept boxing, and we did 12 rounds.
“He was tired but taking punches and throwing, too.
“[He] is bad, [he] is bad, but since he’s too heavy – he’s overweight, probably around 220lbs or more.
“And I’m the only big guy in the gym, I had to do it. But I liked doing it.”
