Nick Diaz to try professional boxing again

By MMAEdition on Aug 13, 2009 with Comments 0

MMA veteran Nick Diaz will apparently dabble in professional boxing again.

Longtime promoter, matchmaker and manager Don Chagrin today announced he has signed the 26-year-old southpaw and that Diaz has received permission from Strikeforce to compete in both sports.

No boxing debut date or opponent were determined for Diaz, who was recently scratched from this weekend’s Strikeforce card and a title fight with Jay Hieron after skipping a mandatory drug test.
