How did Jake Paul lose $1K? Exploring boxing star's 'striking challenge' with UFC star Bo Nickal

CLEVELAND, OHIO: Recently, Jake Paul and Bo Nickal engaged in an unusual boxing contest. Paul has posted videos of his training camp on his YouTube page. He did have time, though, to film a video with UFC middleweight prospect Bo Nickal during training camp. The former NCAA champion in wrestling is thought to be MMA's top prospect.

The wrestler, though, is currently one of Jake Paul's BETR brand's biggest stars. Nickal now has a YouTube account and a series of his own. He just made the decision to compete in an intriguing striking test against the boxer.

‘Striking challenge’

The two engaged in a reflex handball "striking challenge," wagering $1000. The two just put on a headband with a ball on it and tried to hit the ball as many times as they could. On the surface, it seems to be rather easy.

The UFC champion, who scored eight consecutive punches to Paul's six, was the victor, though. Even yet, it was evident that the competition as a whole was enjoyable.

Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz

Both ESPN and DAZN will show the Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz match. 'The Problem Child' has frequently leaped promotions, for what it's worth. He began by working with Eddie Hearn on DAZN before moving on to the frequently overlooked Triller Fight Club.

Paul then launched Most Valuable Promotions, his promotional agency. But he still required a distributor, so he joined Showtime Boxing. He worked for the business up until this year.

Up until February, when he suddenly agreed to fight Tommy Fury for ESPN. That evening, Paul lost for the first time in his career due to a split decision, but he once more became a free agent. He departed and came back with DAZN for his battle with Nate Diaz.

Jake Paul, however, stated earlier today on social media that ESPN will also be covering his bout. The decision surprised some people a little bit because neither fighter is partnered with the organization. In spite of this, Paul has a contract with PFL to compete in MMA matches, which are aired on ESPN.
