It seems Nate Diaz is not taking his upcoming clash with Jake Paul particularly seriously, as he was filmed smoking during training.

The pair are set to clash on August 5 in Dallas, Texas, as Paul looks to bounce back from a first career defeat last time out against Tommy Fury.

As for Diaz, he recently parted ways with the UFC, where he has been competing since 2007, and he will now be making his debut in professional boxing.

But, he does not seem daunted by the task at hand, as a video recently emerged of Diaz smoking while shadow boxing.

Meanwhile, Paul has been working hard, as he posted footage of his training partner Amanda Serrano throwing repeated punches at his stomach.

Paul has also had a change of trainer, splitting with BJ Flores and reuniting with former three-weight world champion, Shane Mosley.

More on Paul vs Diaz

"This is the best camp by far," Paul said while speaking on his YouTube show .

He continued: "They're letting me as the fighter paint my painting.

"Boxing is an art and now they're letting me be the artist, before that was taken away from me."
