Jake Paul and Nate Diaz Make Weight for Highly Anticipated Boxing Match

Jake Paul and Nate Diaz successfully make weight for their highly anticipated boxing match. Get the full weigh-in results and fight card for the event.

At the official weigh-ins for Saturday’s highly anticipated boxing match at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Jake Paul and Nate Diaz successfully made weight. Paul came in at 185 pounds on the dot, while Diaz weighed in at 184.9 pounds.

Paul seemed unsure of his weight at first, stepping to the scale early for a test run before returning later with a banner draped in front of him to strip down. Eventually, he hit the mark without issue. Diaz arrived in the second hour of the weigh-ins and also required the assistance of the banner before successfully making weight.

This will be Diaz’s first professional boxing match after competing in 34 MMA bouts, including a 15-year run with the UFC. Paul, on the other hand, has a 6-1 record in boxing and looks to bounce back from his split decision loss to Tommy Fury in February.

In the co-main event, featherweight champion Amanda Serrano weighed in at 124.6 pounds for her title rematch against Heather Hardy, who weighed in at 125.8 pounds.

Seventeen out of the eighteen fighters scheduled to compete on Saturday successfully made weight. The only exception was Chris Avila, who weighed in at 170.3 pounds for his bout with Jeremy Stephens, 2.3 pounds over the limit. The fight is still expected to proceed as scheduled, with Avila facing a penalty.
