However, Danis was not too impressed with the fight, especially with regard to its authenticity.

Over a series of tweets ‘El Jefe‘ called him out, while accusing him of rigging the fight. He claimed that one of Paul’s former coaches has given him proof about the same, in writing. And, that he avoided releasing it as he did not want the coach to get into trouble.

But, Danis threatened to release it if Paul does not stop running his mouth.

This was not the first time that Dillon Danis accused Jake Paul

Jake Paul and Dillon Danis have had a longstanding feud. This started when Paul called out Danis, while on a fight quest targeting UFC fighters. Danis, who was also Conor McGregor’s jiu-jitsu coach, did not take kindly to his words.

‘El Jefe’ also called Paul out, as he was preparing for his fight against Tyron Woodley. He mentioned that Paul is terrible at boxing. Talking about, the then-upcoming, fight, Danis said, “Tyron Woodley, from what I’ve heard, it’s in the contract that he’s not allowed to knock out Jake, that’s why when he was against the ropes he didn’t hit him. It was in his contract.”

Paul, on the other hand, refuted these claims by stating that they were baseless.
