Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz full undercard line-up and schedule

Jake Paul and Nate Diaz will compete in a 10-round boxing bout on August 5 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, and the event will host a rich undercard stacked with some of the best women in the sport.

Before the YouTuber turned boxer takes on Diaz, undisputed featherweight champion Amanda Serrano will take on Heather Hardy in the night’s co-main event. The pair previously met in 2019 at Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theatre, where Serrano won the WBO, WBC interim, and vacant WBAN featherweight championships. 

Since then, Serrano has added the WBA, IBF, IBO, and The Ring female featherweight titles to her collection and will defend them all against Hardy in the rematch. Hardy returned to the sport of boxing in 2021 after a two-year hiatus. She also worked under contract as an MMA fighter with Bellator from 2017 to 2021.

The undercard will also feature Shadasia Green, a former Olympic boxer for Team USA. Last February, Green beat Swedish boxer Elin Cederroos to become the mandatory challenger for undisputed super middleweight champion Savannah Marshall’s WBO title.

She’ll face Olivia Curry, who has impressed boxing enthusiasts with a 7-1 professional record in the middleweight division. She last defeated Olivia Gerula by unanimous decision four months ago on her quest for middleweight gold.

The undercard will also feature a pair of notable former UFC veterans, Chris Avila and Jeremy Stephens. Avila is a long-time training partner of Diaz and is a member of Team Skrap Pack, a close-knit group of fighters comprised of students from Cesar Gracie’s Jiu-Jitsu academy in Northern California.

Avila has a 3-1 professional boxing record, with his last fight resulting in a unanimous decision win against Paul Bamba at the XULA Convocation Center in New Orleans. He was the main teammate of Diaz involved in a pre-fight press conference brawl between themselves and Paul’s camp.

Stephens had a 17-year MMA career, mainly between the UFC and the Professional Fighters League, also known as the PFL. He lost his last MMA fight against Natan Schulte and fought to a draw in his previous boxing contest against MMA legend Jose Aldo.
