Jorge Masvidal backed to rematch UFC veteran Nate Diaz in boxing fight amid claims he’s ‘Unretired’ overnight

Former two-time undisputed welterweight title challenger, Jorge Masvidal has been backed to take on fellow UFC veteran, Nate Diaz in a professional boxing rematch following last night’s revelation that he was now “unretired” from combat sports, according to professional boxer, Jake Paul – who also staked his claim for a shot at the Floridian.

Masvidal, a former two-time welterweight champion and inaugural symbolic BMF championship winner, called time on his combat sports career just 8 months ago, having suffered his fourth consecutive loss in the form of a one-sided decision shutout to former title chaser, Gilbert Burns in April of this year.
