Two months after his brother fought Dillon Danis in Manchester, Jake Paul is set to make his return to the ring.
This will take place on December 15, a location and opponent are yet to be announced, but fans should not expect to see former UFC star Nate Diaz in the opposite corner.
Paul and Diaz first fought in August in what was a memorable event with the "The Problem Child" being declared the winner via unanimous decision.
In the aftermath it was revealed that there was a rematch clause in the contract with both men wanting to run it back inside an MMA cage.
Now Paul's promotional company, Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), have confirmed on social media that Paul will face Diaz for a second time and it will take place inside a cage under the Professional Fighters League (PFL) banner.
"For the record: Jake Paul will not be boxing Nate Diaz again. Nate Diaz and Jake Paul have received an offer from @PFLMMA to rematch in MMA in the SmartCage. Jake Paul has accepted the offer," MVP posted on X.
Paul signed a deal with the PFL in January which will see him compete in the organisation's pay-per-view "Super Fight" division which contains a number of stars including former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou and undisputed women's featherweight champion Amanda Serrano.
