Recently, Paul was scheduled to take on Gervonta Davis in a bizarre crossover exhibition match. However, due to Davis having more issues with the law, the fight was called off. Paul has been searching for a replacement and via social media, Diaz made it known that he wanted to run it back with ‘The Problem Child’.

However, as per Jake himself, it doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen – but he still respects Nate for being willing to step up to the plate.
