Jake Paul threatened to ‘fire’ one of his employees on Tuesday, during a press conference for the YouTuber’s fight with Nate Diaz. YouTuber Paul has gone 6-1 as a professional boxer in recent years and is due to box Diaz, a former UFC star, in August. At the first press conference for that fight, a ‘reporter’ said to 38-year-old Diaz: “Nate, I’m actually a boxer myself, and I’ve been trying to get into this undercard. “I’m just wondering if you think I could fight your brother Nick [also a former UFC fighter]. If he’s anything like you, I think I’d beat his f***ing a**.” Diaz replied: “Brother, what? Are you just gonna walk away on the streets or some s***? You know all my homeboys see you right now? That was stupid. You deserve your a** whipped.” The reporter revealed himself to be “Derek from Betr Media”, a company run by Paul. Paul, 26, intervened, saying: “He works for my company. I’ll handle that later, I’ll fire him later. I’m sorry about that, Nate. Derek, shut up.” Derek later took to Betr’s Instagram page to share a video, in which he said: “I would like to apologise for the question that I asked at the Jake Paul and Nate Diaz press conference. “I would especially like to apologise to my boss Jake Paul, and I definitely want to apologise to Nate Diaz. Nate, please don’t hurt me, but if you do, I definitely deserve it. “Having said all this... Nick Diaz, the contract has been sent.” Nate Diaz made bond last month after turning himself in to police in New Orleans, where an arrest warrant was issued after the American was filmed seemingly choking out a man in the street. Diaz is best known for his fights with Conor McGregor in 2016. Diaz fought the Irishman on short notice in March of that year and submitted the former dual-weight champion, before losing to McGregor on points in their August rematch. Diaz last fought in the UFC in September, submitting Tony Ferguson before leaving the company. Click here to subscribe to The Independent’s Sport YouTube channel for all the latest sports videos.

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 10, 2023--

Joe Joyce has activated a rematch clause to fight Zhilei Zhang again, thwarting the Chinese heavyweight’s rumoured bout with Tyson Fury. Joyce suffered the first defeat of his professional career in April, losing to Zhang via TKO in the sixth round in London. That result put Zhang in the conversation of potential opponents for Fury’s next fight, but “Big Bang” is now due to box Joyce again. Joyce’s manager Shane Watson told Talksport on Tuesday (9 May) that the Olympic silver medalist had activated a rematch clause, adding: “The first fight was what it was. Joe knows how to put it right. “We spoke about an interim fight, but Joe made it clear he wanted the rematch as soon as possible. This shows how Joe will take any top heavyweight on at any time.” Joyce, 37, stopped Joseph Parker in his previous fight and also holds a stoppage win over Daniel Dubois, but the Briton lost the WBO interim title with his defeat by Zhang. That result has cost Joyce a potential fight with Oleksandr Usyk for the time being. Meanwhile, WBC champion Fury has also been rumoured to take on Andy Ruiz Jr next, before a potential clash with Usyk at the end of the year – a bout that would crown an undisputed heavyweight champion.
