Mike Perry accuses Jake Paul of taking steroids ahead of July boxing clash Instagram\/JakePaul\/OverdogspodJake Paul is set to make his return to the ring against former UFC fighter Mike Perry, and he\u2019s already accusing the influencer of taking steroids before their match. Mike Tyson was originally set to battle Jake Paul on July 20, but the 57-year-old was forced to postpone his fight after suffering an ulcer flare-up. Mike Perry stepped up as a replacement, fresh off a 5-0 record in bare-knuckle fighting. During a June 21 appearance on the Overdogs Podcast, Perry was asked about what kind of drug testing the fight would have, with host Ice Bagz joking that Jake was \u2018running hot\u2019 \u2013 a side-effect of taking steroids. (Topic begins at 10:25) \u201cWell, he\u2019s gotta be hot. If he went from, you know, 210, if he really did go to 230, he had to use something. He had to use something to get there,\u201d Perry replied. \u201cI don\u2019t know how the testing is going to be. They may test me and not test him. That\u2019s fine. I feel like, I\u2019ve fought people who are on it. I know I\u2019ve trained with people who are on the juice. You know, it is what it is. You can test me any day of the week. I eat chicken and steak, and I eat rice, and I train, and I just love to fight. So, it\u2019s just more of a mentality thing for me.\u201d Perry isn\u2019t the first fighter to accuse Paul of taking steroids. Two of Jake\u2019s previous opponents, Tyron Woodley and Nate Diaz, made similar remarks, both of which \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 denied. Jake Paul\u2019s alleged steroid use was called into question during a lie detector test experiment he did with his brother. Logan, when he was asked about rumors of taking performance-enhancing drugs. \u201cIf taking Viagra counts, then yes. It\u2019s performance-enhancing, brother,\u201d Jake joked originally before answering the question with a firm \u201cno.\u201d His answer was deemed truthful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
