Fans are growing concerned for YouTube star and boxer Jake Paul after Dillon Danis posted a photo of the 27-year-old, alleging that he’s taking steroids.
Jake Paul is preparing to fight boxing legend Mike Tyson on November 15 at AT&T Stadium (home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys) in Arlington, Texas. The bout, which will stream on Netflix, had to be pushed back from its initial July 20 date because of Tyson’s ulcer flareup.
Danis, a retired MMA fighter and close friend of Conor McGregor’s, shared a worrisome photo of Paul on X/Twitter with a caption that read, “Steroids are bad kids.”

Danis has a well-documented rivalry with the Paul brothers. Jake’s older brother, Logan, defeated him via disqualification in Danis’ professional boxing debut on October 14 last year in Manchester, England.
Paul and Dillon Danis have engaged in plenty of back-and-forth trash talk over the past year. McGregor and Paul aren’t fond of one another, either, so that only adds fuel to Danis’ beef with the brothers.
Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson Will Be Can’t-Miss TV
Love or have the younger Paul brother, there’s no denying that he has backed up his trash talk in the ring. His pro boxing record of 10-1 speaks for itself, with the only loss coming to Tommy Fury on Feb. 23 in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia.
Tyson’s last professional boxing match took place 19 years ago against Kevin McBride, which the latter won via technical knockout. For the once-unbeatable Tyson, it marked his third loss in four bouts.
In his most recent bout, Tyson faced Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition match at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California on Nov. 28, 2020. That match ended in a split decision, which led to widespread backlash from fans.
Tyson and Paul are two of the most polarizing figures in the sports world. Regardless of how you feel about the both of them, this match promises to be entertaining one way or another.
