A week after Terence Crawford made headlines for having Eminem walk him into the boxing ring, Jake Paul brought out Lil Durk for his ring walk ahead of his highly anticipated fight against Nate Diaz.
Durk decided to use the countless amount of eyes on the fight to announce a deluxe version of his 2023 album, Almost Healed, which is expected to arrive this month. Sporting a similar face covering as in the album's cover, he let his shirt do the talking for the big announcement.
At the sold-out fight, the Youtuber-turned-fighter is still nearly undefeated, earning another win under his belt against Diaz. The close fight saw the two spar for ten rounds, with Paul defeating the MMA fighter via unanimous decision (97-92, 98-91, 98-91).
"He's a warrior," Paul said of his opponent in a post-fight interview. He also propositioned an MMA fight with Diaz, meaning this may not be the last time we see the pair in the ring.
In other news, Drake bet a quarter of a million dollars for Diaz to beat Paul. Looks like he's in for a rough day.
