Nate Diaz Says He Accepted Jake Paul Rematch as Replacement Search Continues

Most Valuable Promotions is exploring December dates after canceling the Gervonta Davis bout over a civil assault complaint, with no new opponent finalized.

Overview

  • The Nov. 14 Paul–Davis card in Miami was canceled following a civil complaint alleging assault and related offenses against Davis.
  • Diaz posted “Fight accepted. You’re dead” and Paul praised his willingness to step in on two weeks’ notice, while also saying the matchup “isn’t meant to be.”
  • MVP is targeting alternative Fridays in December, such as Dec. 12 or 19, for a rescheduled Paul-headlined event on Netflix.
  • Francis Ngannou rejected an approach as “disrespectful,” Ryan Garcia is unavailable due to DAZNNetflix platform conflicts, and Andre Ward has been contacted about his availability.
  • Other fighters have put their names forward, including Rolly Romero, as Claressa Shields questioned Paul’s stated reasoning for dropping Davis.
