While talking about the same on ESPN, Daniel Cormier told Ariel Helwani that Jake Paul will defeat Dillon Danis in a boxing match. He claimed that Jake Paul is boxing for three years now and has learned a lot about the sport. Dillon Danis, on the other hand, is a wrestler who has no experience in boxing. “You can’t learn to box in three months. It takes too much time and you could tell that kid Jake Paul has been training longer than a few months,” he added.

Conor McGregor is a vicious striker who has stepped in the boxing ring before. Daniel Cormier claimed, unlike Danis, McGregor is an experienced boxer who has fought legend Floyd Mayweather in the past. Conor McGregor faced ‘Money’ Mayweather in 2017 where he displayed an incredible performance, despite losing by TKO in the tenth round.

“Jake Paul beats Dillon Danis in a boxing match, but Jake Paul doesn’t beat Conor. Conor can box. Conor is the real deal,” he added.
