Jake Paul takes the bull by the horns as he prepares for the next big fight of his career. He shared the results of the drug tests conducted under the auspices of the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association on Twitter. He fights former UFC legend and third-degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Nate Diaz on August 5 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. The fight, billed ‘Ready 4 War,’ follows the majority decision loss to Tommy Fury on February 26, early this year.
Hence by his admission, the bout is do-or-die for the Cleveland, Ohio-born Paul. Predictably, the number of views the post has received so far appears on touching the million mark. Some of those who commented remain uncertain about the disclosure. However, the die-hard Jake Paul fans stood up for their idol.

The following user seemingly refuses to accept the outcome Jake Paul shared. Until he gets a hand to test ‘The Problem Child,’ the integrity of the test results remains questionable to the user.

Another user who doesn’t appear impressed with ‘The Problem Child’s’ revelation, the following user contends men who take banned substances are usually the ones who would strive to prove that they are not into it.
Only guys on steroids would try to deliver a proof that they are not on steroids 😂

C R Buchanan questions the schedule of the YouTuber-turned-boxer. Whether he goes off the grid for four weeks followed by a test, come clean, and repeats the sequence, or is it a consequence of hard labor? Secondly, he doubts the rationale behind challenging a mixed martial artist who competes in the 155 lbs. The different weight divisions exist for a purpose. If he’s so keen to prove the unsoundness of the naysayers’ quips, he could as well fight someone like Yoel Romero in the octagon.
4wks off, take test, pass, start again? Or just hard work and cutting?
Why call out an MMA fighter that usually fights in the 155lb class (when you cut to 185lbs) for a boxing match? There are weight classes for a reason. Why not fight Yoel in the cage and prove everyone wrong?— C. R. BUCHANAN (@AvoidingThePath) July 22, 2023
Probably one of Paul’s fans, the following user stipulates that while he may not boast an extraordinary physique, he has built it naturally and worked hard to achieve it.
Definitely looks natural, his body isn’t out of this world 👍🏽. Hard work pays off

For both the belligerents, the contest is a must-win. Until recently, Jake Paul basked in the glory of an unbeaten record. He fended off challenges from aging fighters from non-boxing backgrounds. He badly needs a victory after losing the grudge match to the boxer Tommy Fury. On the other hand, Nate Diaz turned thirty-eight in April. After breaking free from UFC, a free agent, a win might open new career avenues for him.
