Celtics vs. Heat: Jake Paul goes from wild excitement to utter disappointment during Celtics vs. Heat game

YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul experienced a roller coaster of emotions during the sixth Celtics vs. Heat game.

Celtics scored the winning points at the buzzer and emerged victorious with 104 points in response to Heat's 103.

Paul, who was supporting the Miami Heat was highly excited towards the end of the game as Heat had gotten the upper hand. However, the game eventually slipped away from them, leaving 'The Problem Child' utterly disappointed.

Jake Paul is currently scheduled to take on MMA star Nate Diaz in a professional boxing match in August. The fight will comprise of eight three-minute rounds and will take place at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.

Paul is coming off the first loss of his boxing career as he lost a razor-close fight against Tommy Fury via split decision in February. Prior to that, 'The Problem Child' was undefeated with victories over prominent MMA fighters like Ben Askren, former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley and UFC Hall-of-Famer Anderson Silva.

Diaz, on the other hand, has never competed as a professional boxer before. However, the Stockton native is known for his toughness and has competed against several high-level fighters in the UFC like Conor McGregor, Jorge Masvidal, Leon Edwards, Tony Ferguson, and Rafael dos Anjos.

Apart from being on the younger side (26 years old), Paul also appears to have a size advantage over Diaz. But the curiosity surrounding the 38-year-old's ability to compete in a boxing match, in addition to his star power, would make for a compelling event between the two.
