Paul and Diaz squared off in a boxing match on Aug. 5, with Paul
winning via unanimous decision. At the beginning of the year, Paul
signed with the PFL to compete in MMA in the organization’s
pay-per-view division. He is also a minority equity owner to the
parent company. The PFL has not yet announced a debut for the
superfight division, but it is expected to launch sometime in
2024.
