For now, it seems like Paul has moved on and will find a new opponent for his main event match on Aug. 6. UFC fighter Nate Diaz, former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, and Hasim Rahman Jr. are all potential replacement fighters.
According to BetOnline, one of the best boxing betting sites, Paul would be a +170 underdog if he stepped in the boxing ring versus Diaz. However, as of now, Hasim Rahman Jr. appears to be the most likely opponent.
