However, the young fighter has consistently denied any involvement in cheating. Now, as he gears up to face Diaz, this seems like a proactive step to prove his commitment to fair play. The Youtuber-turned-boxer has tested negative for drug abuse ahead of his fight.
Both Paul and Diaz are enrolled in the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association testing program for their upcoming bout. VADA is known for its rigorous and stringent testing procedures, aimed at maintaining the integrity of the sport and ensuring a level playing field for all competitors.
While fans have received the update from their loved Youtuber, Diaz’s reports are yet to come out in public. Considering his history and scuffle with the police in the past and his smoking habits, will the TUF 5 winner be able to pass the test? Especially considering his recent antics, it’s hard to conclude anything.
