Chris Avila not thrown off by Nate Diaz vs. Jake Paul press conference brawl: 'I'm down for whatever'
DALLAS – Chris Avila is game for it all.
The former UFC and former Bellator fighter saw his team involved in a scuffle at Thursday’s press conference in the lead up for Saturday’s Nate Diaz vs Jake Paul boxing event, and he was not shook one bit by it.
“I’m down for whatever, but I’m focused 100 percent on my fight, and I also got my homie’s backs,” Avila said in a media scrum after the press conference brawl. “So whatever is going to happen, whatever pops off, I’m ready for it all. But I’m focused on my fight, and I’m working like I should. I got to do what I got to do to be ready to fight and make my weight and do my job on Saturday.”
Avila promises he is not distracted and fully focused on his fight. He takes on former UFC veteran Jeremy Stephens in an eight-round bout at 168 pounds.
