Jake Paul Hit List: How likely are his potential fights with Conor McGregor, Canelo Alvarez, and more?

#6. Nick or Nate Diaz vs. Jake Paul

Nate Diaz has hit out at Jake Paul on Twitter, but a fight between the two is doubtful

Like a fight between Conor McGregor and Jake Paul, a fight involving ‘The Problem Child’ and either one of the Diaz brothers is highly unlikely due to their status as contracted UFC fighters.

Both Nick and Nate Diaz would actually make for good foes for Paul, as they both possess some of the better boxing skills in the world of MMA – and yet their age, their size and damage they’ve already taken would arguably make them beatable opponents for the YouTuber.

However, they’re among two of the UFC’s bigger drawing cards right now, and there’s practically zero chance of Dana White ever allowing them to step into the boxing ring with ‘The Problem Child’.

If one of them could get out of their UFC contract, of course, that would change, particularly as Nate Diaz has already hit out at Paul on Twitter.

Jake Paul u need your ass beat for free u spoiled fuck u can’t really fight dumbshit your gonna end up with your ass whooped for real somewhere talking like that 👊🏼

Right now, though, it seems unlikely.

#5. KSI vs. Jake Paul

KSI has already beaten Logan Paul in the boxing ring

KSI has plenty of history with the world of YouTube boxing and with Jake Paul’s brother Logan in particular. The London-based social media influencer has fought Logan twice in the boxing ring, drawing with him in an amateur bout in 2018 before defeating him in a professional match in 2019.

And KSI already has plenty of beef with Jake Paul, as the two men went nose-to-nose following Paul’s win over fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib in 2020, teasing a potential fight in the future.

Since then, though, KSI’s burgeoning music career has taken off, with tracks charting and doing well in both the UK and USA. And he’s also reportedly making plenty of money from his investments in cryptocurrency.

The fact that KSI is more of an amateur fighter than a dangerous professional probably makes this one of the more likely bouts on this list to actually happen.

However, KSI seems like a busy man right now and Jake Paul himself has admitted that the fight seems doubtful.

Still, if KSI’s profile in the music world were to slide in the near future, don’t be surprised to see him dust off his gloves for a fight with ‘The Problem Child’.
