Jake Paul hits back at Nate Diaz steroid claim with new offer ahead of grudge fight

Jake Paul has hit back at Nate Diaz's claim that he's using steroid ahead of the pair's fight, harkening back to an old drug test issue his rival faced.

The UFC legend will make his boxing debut against YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul in Dallas, Texas on August 5 after years of animosity between the pair, and their trash talking is beginning to heat up. Just this week, Diaz reiterated the debunked claim that Paul has been using performance enhancing drugs, and now Paul has reacted to the accusation.

It has often been suggested, without evidence, that the social media star is using steroids in order to justify his boxing skills after his wins over the likes of Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva and Ben Askren. But he has always passed any drug tests that have been taken, including full VADA testing for his last bout with Tommy Fury.
