Jake Paul, the YouTube star turned boxer, is facing serious accusations about his physique as he prepares for his upcoming fight against Mike Tyson. The highly anticipated bout was initially scheduled for July 20 at AT&T Stadium but has been postponed to November 15 due to Tyson’s health scare. Despite this delay, Paul is set to fight mixed martial artist Mike Perry on July 20 at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
In the lead-up to their match, Perry has made a bold accusation, suggesting that Paul may have used steroids to bulk up for his fight with Tyson. Perry expressed his suspicions on the OverDogs Podcast, stating, “If he went from 210 pounds to 230, he had to use something. I don’t know how the testing is going to be. They may test me and not test him.”
This is not the first time Paul has faced allegations of steroid use. Last year, former MMA star Dillon Danis also questioned Paul’s physique. In response, Paul has consistently denied any doping allegations, including those made by UFC president Dana White.
The controversy surrounding Paul’s physique adds another layer of intrigue to his upcoming fights. As he prepares to face Perry and later Tyson, the boxing community will be watching closely to see how these accusations impact his performance and reputation in the sport.
