Jake Paul's much-anticipated return to the boxing ring goes Saturday when the former YouTube star faces former UFC fan favorite Nate Diaz. Check out the latest Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz odds via our best sports betting sites.

On Saturday, Jake Paul aims to bounce back from his first professional loss in the ring as he takes on UFC fan favorite Nate Diaz, another former mixed martial artist. The fight will happen at American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX, with the pay-per-view event commencing at 8 p.m. ET.

Before facing defeat against Tommy Fury in February, Paul had an undefeated record in his first six fights. However, he has been quite successful when up against former UFC fighters. In 2021, he achieved a TKO victory over Ben Askren and secured a split decision win against former welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, whom he later defeated via a brutal KO in a rematch. Additionally, Paul triumphed over UFC legend Anderson Silva with a unanimous decision in late 2022.

On the other hand, Nate Diaz, with a 21-13 record in MMA, will be making his boxing debut. His most recent appearance resulted in a submission victory over Tony Ferguson in September 2022.

Here are the current Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz betting odds (odds via best sports betting apps).

Paul is a considerable favorite at our best sports betting apps and the gap continues to widen across the sportsbooks. For example, the moneyline on Paul went from -340 last week to -550 at FanDuel as of Wednesday afternoon.

Paul's status as the favorite comes as no surprise considering the edge in boxing experience and the size advantage (6-foot-1, 190 pounds) over Diaz (6-foot-0, 170 pounds).

There's also the perception that Diaz may not be preparing for the bout as seriously as he could, at least not in training.

Paul vs. Diaz pick

Paul (-390 via DraftKings) ⭐⭐⭐

There's no denying that the Jake Paul money-making machine could face a sudden halt with another defeat. The former YouTube personality has established himself as a pay-per-view sensation, strategically selecting opponents like 5-foot-9 former NBA point guard Nate Robinson, and more recently, wrestlers Askren and Woodley as part of his fight history.

Once again, Paul has meticulously chosen his next opponent. The upcoming boxing match will take place at 185 pounds, while Diaz, with an MMA career spent mostly at 155 pounds, will be stepping into the ring.

Diaz's MMA record of 21-13 includes two knockout losses and three defeats in his last five fights, but he has secured many victories through submissions. While Diaz has a backup plan of returning to the UFC for a trilogy fight with MMA star Conor McGregor, Paul's future in commanding multi-million dollar fights relies heavily on another, likely controversial, victory.
