"I will knockout Nate Diaz after I knockout Woodley."
Jake Paul will try to elevate his boxing superstardom to new heights as he's set to take on the toughest test of his career in the form of Tyron Woodley. The ballyhooed boxing match will go down on August 28 at the Fifth Street Gym in Miami, Florida.

Jake Paul eyeing Nate Diaz fight
This isn't the first time Jake Paul has expressed his desire to fight the beloved octagon bad-boy. After making quick work of Askren, 'The Problem Child' revealed future plans to try and pursue a matchup with Nate Diaz.
"I think Nate Diaz. I think people will immediately write me off. Like even someone watching this interview right now, is like, 'Oh, this kid's like crazy. Nate Diaz is such a dog, he's gonna kill Jake. He's out of his mind, blah, blah, blah..." But they're gonna tune in and watch, right? And it's two massive names and it'll be a massive pay-per-view, and then, when they see me obliterate him, their jaws are gonna be dropped."
Meanwhile, Nate Diaz said he's open to the possibility of facing the YouTube star in the squared circle. In an interview with ESPN's Ariel Helwani, the Stockton native said:
"Not at the moment, no. But at some point, for sure."
