Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal will face each other in a middleweight boxing match at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. This marks a major event as both fighters come out of semi-retirement to compete.
Nate Diaz, who debuted in 2023, has only one professional boxing fight against Jake Paul which he lost by unanimous decision.
Jorge Masvidal, on the other hand, turned boxer back in 2005 and has had only one professional bout as well, securing a win via majority decision against Joseph Benjamin.
Both fighters have limited experience in boxing with their careers primarily outside of traditional bouts — Diaz known broadly from mixed martial arts and Masvidal having a patchwork of combat sports activity including bare-knuckle events.
Given both fighters' sporadic boxing records and primary careers in mixed martial arts, this bout presents an interesting matchup of comparable skills but minimal boxing-specific resume. Transitioning back into the ring could be a challenge for both considering their long periods of non-activity in orthodox boxing matches and diversification into other combat forms. The fight will test their adaptability and ability to engage under strict boxing regulations versus broader fighting arenas.
