MMA star Dillon Danis have leaked the messages of American social media personality Jake Paul’s coach Shane Mosley where the latter is expressing how he genuinely feels for the YouTuber.
Paul is in the last stages of his fight as he is set to return to the boxing ring for the first time since February 2023 after losing to Tommy Fury by a split decision and is now all set to take on another MMA legend Nate Diaz on August 5 at the American Airlines Center, Texas.
Mosley has been guiding Paul as his coach after the latter parted ways with previous coach BJ Flores after losing against Fury.
Danis was linked to a fight against Paul in 2020, which did not happen, and now, the UFC fighter has revealed his messages with Mosley about the fight negotiations.
"Doubt Jake will make the fight with you if he knows your knee is good though, so keep it on the low if you really trying to make that fight. Definitely wouldn’t let it be known you talking me to about training or tips. He definitely ain’t signing up to fight you then," Mosley wrote.
"He been b****ng because I want June and he wants March. I don’t think he will take it, just want a bit more time for my knee," Danis replied.
“He doesn’t want you to have time to heal. I know his weakness, if anyone knows I know. If it was me, knowing how J works. Best thing to do is leak fake info about how your knee is shot for good and you won’t be in shape to fight in March or June.
"He and his team will love to fight a tripped fighter but it has to be leaked the right way so they would believe it, that would be my thought," Mosley wrote back.
However, Mosley issued a statement after the leaked messages saying that it was not him behind the phone who Danis was chatting to.
"Seeing a bunch of noise on social media today," Mosley wrote. "For the record, three years ago I didn't even control my own social media. Now I do.
“To be clear, Jake Paul would annihilate Dillon Danis but it would never get sanctioned as Jake's a boxer. What they are doing are unsanctioned exhibitions and are not on Jake's level. Saturday night you will see!"
