The man prepared to promote a Nick Diaz (25-7 MMA, 6-4 UFC) boxing contest now says the Strikeforce welterweight champion will not be entering the squared circle anytime soon.
Don Chargin today announced via press release that Diaz has determined it’s in his “best interest to focus on his primary combat sport and profession.”
Chargin also referenced a potential “opportunity of a lifetime” for Diaz, fueling further speculation of a pending matchup with UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre (22-2 MMA, 16-2 UFC). However, UFC president Dana White continues to insist Diaz is far from UFC-bound.
“We will see,” White told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “There are still a lot of hurdles.”
