Even though it seemed like the two were at odds, their first press conference to advertise their summer matchup went smoothly. Small verbal barbs were exchanged between the two, with Diaz appearing uninterested in the conversation.

The Stockton native and ‘The Problem Child’ stared each other down after he emerged from the loo. The two were rather calm during the face-off, with only a little mild arm pushing.

This is Diaz’s first professional boxing contest. He recently defeated Tony Ferguson via submission in a match that served as the final contest of his UFC contract. Diaz has stated his intention to someday return to the UFC.

Paul’s battle in this conflict is crucial. This year, when Tommy Fury defeated him in a split decision, he suffered the first defeat of his professional boxing career. Paul claimed during the press conference that the majority of his circle had stood by him following the loss.
