Dillon Danis is once again going at it with Jake Paul and is now claiming to have evidence that the YouTuber-turned-boxer competes in rigged fights.

Danis took to Twitter to reveal that Paul's former coach provided him with proof that all his fights so far have been rigged in his favor. The Bellator middleweight mentioned that he has more than one piece of evidence, writing:

"i also have full proof in wrtiting and in video from his former full time coach saying his fights are rigger btw...only reason I won't release he seems like a nice guy and don't want him in that mess."

Despite saying this, he refused to make the evidence public. Danis still issued a warning to 'The Problem Child' that if he kept bashing him, he would make it public:

"but @jakepaul if you don't shut your candy ass up I will release everything in full."

It would be interesting to see if this online feud materializes into an actual fight. 'El Jefe' was among the MMA fighters that were rumored to fight 'The Problem Child' but the influencer instead fought former Bellator and ONE welterweight champion Ben Askren.


How did the Jake Paul's feud with Dillon Danis start?

It seems odd that Jake Paul, who has been targeting UFC fighters for potential boxing bouts, began an online feud with Dillon Danis.

Danis is known for being one of Conor McGregor's training partners. However, he hasn't fought in the UFC and hasn't competed since 2019, when he submitted Max Humphrey at Bellator 222.

'El Jefe' has made similar accusations in the past as he mentioned that Tyron Woodley had a no-knockout clause when he fought 'The Problem Child' in 2021. Paul denied those accusations and then fired back during a press conference:

"Having a no-knockout clause in a contract, I've never heard of that and first of all, it's highly illegal. I'd be in jail...that's like rigging the fight. I'd literally be in prison if it actually were a real thing. So it's all nonsense."

It doesn't seem likely that 'The Problem Child' will fight Danis. Especially considering there are bigger names for him to fight. Additionally, it wouldn't be logical to go from defeating former champions and one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time, to boxing 'El Jefe,' as he's been inactive for over three years.
