Nate Diaz Says He Accepted Jake Paul Rematch as Promotion Weighs Replacement for Canceled Davis Bout

MVP has not confirmed an opponent or new date after scrapping the Nov. 14 Netflix card following a civil complaint against Gervonta Davis.

Overview

  • Nate Diaz posted “Fight accepted. You’re dead” on Instagram, signaling willingness to face Jake Paul again two years after losing a unanimous decision in 2023.
  • Jake Paul praised Diaz for stepping in on two weeks’ notice but added “it isn’t meant to be,” indicating the rematch remains unconfirmed.
  • Netflix said it will still carry a Paul‑headlined event in 2025 after MVP canceled the Davis exhibition and issued ticket refunds in the wake of the lawsuit.
  • Paul’s team explored replacements including Francis Ngannou, Ryan Garcia, Terence Crawford and Andre Ward; Ngannou publicly declined and Garcia’s DAZN ties were cited as an obstacle.
  • Reports suggested Dec. 12 or 19 as possible new dates, and boxers such as Rolly Romero and Timothy Bradley volunteered to step in, yet MVP has announced no opponent, date or venue.
