Logan: He’s broke. This guy sucks. He’s the parasite of the MMA and combat world and that’s why I took the fight initially.
The combat sports world is buzzing with excitement as Logan Paul reveals his upcoming boxing match against Dillon Danis, set to happen in Manchester on October 14th. This highly anticipated match has already captured attention beyond its sporting significance due to Paul’s determination to prevent any potential fight withdrawals from Danis, considering his past history.
During a recent episode of his podcast, Impaulsive, Logan Paul openly addressed the potential withdrawal of Danis from their upcoming fight. Paul mentioned a clause in their fight agreement that could penalize Danis if he were to withdraw. According to Paul, if Danis were to fake an injury and pull out, a doctor chosen by Paul’s camp would need to confirm the injury. In such a scenario, Danis would be required to pay a hefty penalty of $100,000.

Paul’s concerns about Danis are rooted in his past behaviour, specifically his last-minute withdrawal from a scheduled boxing match against KSI in January. Danis’ issues with weight management and preparation raised questions about his dedication and preparedness for the fight.
However, Paul’s motivations extend beyond just arranging the fight. He has publicly criticized Danis, alleging that he is financially insecure and even labelling him as a “parasite” in the MMA and combat sports world. Paul is resolute in silencing Danis and eliminating his influence from the combat sports scene.
This showdown between the two individuals not only guarantees a physical confrontation but also a clash of words and reputations.
While Paul spoke with conviction, he acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding the promotion of the fight, suggesting that Danis may not always employ genuine tactics. This hints at the importance of fact-checking and remaining vigilant in the lead-up to the event.
Paul’s venture into the world of boxing has captured considerable attention, starting from his amateur fight with KSI to his exhibition match against the legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather. As he prepares to take on Danis, Paul demonstrates a strong belief in his boxing skills and eagerly embraces the chance to leave a lasting impact in both the boxing and MMA communities.
