In a series of tweets from ESPN’s Ariel Helwani, it was revealed that Diaz recently completed a test weight cut because he is preparing to fight again. His manager, Kevin Mubenga, said that Diaz will be keeping a “close eye” on a number of upcoming fights in the welterweight division.
Diaz is said to be between 165 and 175 pounds following his weight cut.
... he is keeping a close eye on the big welterweight fights coming up. He is “100%” planning on fighting again, per Mubenga, and is targeting an early 2021 return. ( @elfrogito)
