And Paul wants to make another bout with Diaz in MMA after they fight in the boxing ring, having signed with the PFL (Professional Fighters League), which is a rival organisation to the UFC.
The social media star turned boxer recently tweeted: "For all the clowns saying 'why don’t you fight Nate Diaz in the cage.' I made that offer to him from the start.
"$10M [£7.6m] to fight me in PFL after we box on August 5th. Offer is still there Nathan."
But, before that, Paul will need to focus on beating Diaz in their boxing fight and he has changed his coaching set up to make sure he does just that.

Paul's friend then commented that it could be down to his new trainer and he has transformed as a fighter.
"I guess that's more so for you guys to comment on from the outside point of view, because I feel different and I'm dancing and having fun," Paul replied.
