Jake Paul out-boxed and out-worked Nate Diaz to win a unanimous decision in their 10-round boxing match at American Airlines Center on Saturday in Dallas.
In the end, the judges scored the contest 97-92, 98-91, and 98-91 for Paul. Afterward, Paul reiterated his $10 million challenge for an MMA rematch with Diaz, which Diaz appeared amenable to if PFL is willing to co-promote with his Real Fight Inc. promotional arm.

He’s gotta stop letting Jake hold him. Nate gotta push more in these last 4 rounds cuz of the knockdown.
