Jake Paul faces Nate Diaz on August 5th in a cruiserweight contest.
The bout was originally scheduled for eight rounds but it seems Nate Diaz had requested for it to be a ten rounder.
The YouTuber come-boxer recently accepted the new fight distance only for the former UFC star to back-track, Tweeting , ‘I’m good wit 8.’

But now it appears it will be officially be over ten rounds.
Paul Tweeted, ’10 rounds. If the fight goes to the later rounds, it’s obviously a big advantage for Nate. I know that, he knows that (that’s why he made the request), the oddsmakers know that. But I don’t give a fuck. I’m all in.’
