Nate Diaz has called out Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury six months after being defeated by Jake Paul in his boxing debut. The long-time UFC fighter swapped sports last summer but lost by unanimous decision after being knocked down in the fifth round.

Diaz, 38, now wants a ‘real fight’ against anyone, including the top two British heavyweights. The Californian is adamant that he would ‘f*** up’ both despite coming in considerably undersized compared to the pair.

He fought Paul at a 185lbs cruiserweight catchweight, standing at 6ft with a 76in reach. In these hypothetical fights, Diaz would give up six and nine inches in height to Joshua and Fury respectively, while weighing between 50 and 90 lbs less.

But the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu third-degree black belt is undeterred by a lack of size. With two decades of fight experience behind him, Diaz believes he is a match for anyone.
