Nick Diaz Serious About Boxing, Next Fight May Hinge on Paul Daley

“We’re kind of as curious as you guys are to see what the next step is and where things lead. I’m in talks with the boxing people now. I’m in talks with Scott Coker. I’m meeting with them to go over what the possible next step is with Nick and Strikeforce. I’m a fan of the sport too, so I’m kind of excited to see where it’s going to go,” Gracie told MMAWeekly Radio.

The decision may very well fall all in the lap of Strikeforce welterweight challenger Paul Daley. He’s fighting in his home country of England later this month as the headliner of a BAMMA show. If he’s successful, Strikeforce has already promised him the next shot at Diaz. If he stumbles and falls or somehow has to deal with a long term injury, Diaz will likely opt for boxing as his next challenge instead of MMA. The Gracie trained fighter loves to train the sport, and believes he can ascend to a new level for a crossover athlete.

“Both of those things and it really depends on the promoters at that point,” Gracie said about Diaz’s desire to do boxing and MMA. “Obviously, we have a relationship with Strikeforce and if they want to make that fight happen in the next few months or so, that would be fine and he’d end up fighting Paul Daley. Daley’s got a fight coming up, he’ll probably get past it, if he doesn’t that might ruin the fight. But if he does win this next fight I think it would be an intriguing match-up.
