Dillion Danis is not letting Jake Paul off the hook. Actually, not just Paul, he dragged the elder brother Logan through the mud as well. At the same time, Danis also fired a shot across the bows of KSI. Danis’s accusation? The Paul brothers and KSI are using steroids. 

Sharing a picture of the Paul brothers and KSI, Danis tweeted, “Don’t do roids kids.” Of course, this is not the first time Dillion Danis has labeled steroid allegations against Jake Paul. Last August, the 31-year-old posted a picture of Paul with a visible acne on his face, captioning, “Steroids are bad kids.” Later on, he shared the same picture on his Instagram handle, captioning, “WTF (What the F***)” with a laughing emoji beside it.

While acne is a known side effect of steroid use, it should be noted that there has not been any evidence to back this claim. But the allegation of using performance-enhancing drugs against Jake Paul is not new. And not limited to Danis either. Even Mike Perry went on record to claim in a podcast that, “To put on 25 pounds, I don’t know how someone does it. I guess without a cheat code.” Somewhat corroborating his stance, Dr. Stuart Fischer, author of Little Book of Big Medical Emergencies, said in a podcast, “His appearance is consistent with adult use of steroids — probably anabolic steroids. These are very dangerous drugs. They can lead to circulatory problems, hormonal problems, high blood pressure and even heart attacks.” 

To reiterate, there has been no substantial evidence against Jake Paul. But, of course, Danis and Paul have a history of engaging in verbal spats. Back in 2023, after Danis’s humiliating loss to Jake’s brother,  Logan Paul, the 28-year-old called Danis out as the worst fighter. “Talked so much s*** and is one of the worst fighters I’ve ever seen,” tweeted Jake Paul at that time. In case you forgot, before the Logan Paul-Dillion Danis fight, a restraining order had to be placed

Not long after the fight and Paul’s tweet, Danis fired back. “Hey @jakepaul your brother hits like a b***h if you knock me out I’ll retire forever and give everyone who likes this 2k.” His wish is yet to be fulfilled. So far, there is no news of Danis and Paul locking horns inside the ring.

But Danis is scheduled to fight KSI next month. Once again, the two parties, in this case, share a turbulent history. So, Danis accusing his next opponent of using steroids is an indication that he won’t let it go so easily. KSI, meanwhile, is in talks to fight a match at the former high-security prison in Alcatraz. The news came out in a chat with  Turki Alalshikh. But interestingly, KSI didn’t forget to throw a jab or two at Jake Paul either. 

What’s your perspective on:

Are the Paul brothers' physiques natural, or is there truth to Danis's steroid accusations?

Jake Paul faces a sleek jab from KSI

For the record, there is no fight scheduled between Jake Paul and KSI. Not yet. But when has that stopped any UFC fighter from starting a trash talk against a potential future opponent? KSI sat for a chat with Turki Alalshikh recently, where even Alalshikh took a subtle jab at Paul for fighting Mike Tyson. “We will discuss future opponents, but really fighters, really boxers, not 60 years old,” the 43-year-old said.

He jokingly threw the name of TikTok fame  Frank Gilfeathe, a 79-year-old boxer.“I’m sure there is one guy who would love to take that opportunity for sure,’ KSI said with a smirk. Paul has faced widespread criticism for fighting 58-year-old Mike Tyson, with allegations of hosting a ‘staged’ show raised against both. 

There is no confirmed news of Jake Paul’s next fight. Although Paul’s tweet, “The moment you’ve waited a decade for… March 27th,” kicked off some rumors of a next fight with KSI or even Logan Paul, it turned out to be a teaser for a docu-series. Notably, Jake Paul has yet to respond to any of this criticism raised against him.
