Jake Paul blasts claims of having \u201cillegal\u201d no knockout clause for previous fights Screenshot via YouTube: SecondsOutJake Paul has hit back at claims from Dillon Danis that he had a \u2018no knockout\u2019 clause in the contract for his fight against Tyron Woodley, claiming the MMA fighter is bringing it up for \u201cclout.\u201d Since first stepping into the boxing ring back in 2018, Jake Paul has fully made his mark on the fighting scene, racking up a 4-0 professional record with multiple knockouts. His last bout, which came against former UFC champion Tyron Woodley, did draw plenty of criticism from viewers and other fighters. Many claimed that Woodley had beaten Paul \u2013 especially after a late flurry \u2013 but the judges ultimately scored it as a split decision in favor of the social media star. Jake\u2019s longtime rival Dillon Danis even went as far as claiming on the MMA Hour that the former UFC star had the chance to put the YouTuber on the canvas but didn\u2019t do so as there was a \u2018no knockout\u2019 clause in the contract for the fight. Well, Jake has responded to those claims. Speaking following the launch press conference for his fight with Tommy Fury, Jake blasted the claims about the \u2018no KO\u2019 clause, taking shots at his longtime social media rival. \u201cLook, it\u2019s a bunch of losers trying to make s**t up to get in the headlines,\u201d the social media star said, claiming that Danis and others had done it for the \u201cclout\u201d of being mentioned.\u201cHaving a \u2018no knockout clause\u2019 in a contract, I\u2019ve never heard of that. It\u2019s highly illegal. I would be in jail.\u201d He continued: \u201cThat\u2019s like rigging a fight. I would be in prison if that was a real thing. It\u2019s all nonsense, it\u2019s all bulls**t and they got exactly what they wanted out of it, which was for people to mention their name.\u201d As Jake notes, the \u2018no knockout\u2019 clause is not a thing in professional bouts \u2013 though it has been used in exhibitions before. Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr, which Jake was on the undercard for, had a stipulation where the fight was to be stopped if either fighter suffered a nasty cut. Though, that never happened.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
