While anticipation was high for Jake Paul to face boxing legend Mike Tyson at AT&T Stadium on July 20, Tyson’s recent health concerns have forced a postponement of the bout to November 15, disappointing many fans of the sport.
However, Paul has committed to fighting on July 20 against mixed martial artist Mike Perry, who has been vocal with fiery remarks about the “Problem Child” leading up to their showdown at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. Accusations of steroid use against Paul are not new; last year, former MMA star Dillon Danis raised concerns about Paul’s physique, questioning his actions like dipping into a cold plunge while wearing a backward cap.
In 2022, Paul vehemently denied doping allegations from UFC president Dana White and criticized Ryan Garcia’s positive Ostarine test ahead of his fight with Devin Haney, resulting in Garcia’s year-long boxing suspension. Despite Paul’s denials, he faces renewed allegations of cheating as the fight approaches, leaving observers to wonder whether these accusations are part of the pre-fight drama or hint at something more troubling beneath the surface.
