Dillon Danis has vowed to complete a 'Paul brothers double' by beating Logan on Saturday night and then targeting his younger sibling Jake.
Danis will take on Logan on the same card as KSI's clash with Tommy Fury in Manchester this weekend with Jake set to be ringside for his brother's first fight since his exhibition against Floyd Mayweather two years ago. And while attached to a lie detector for an interview with broadcaster DAZN, Danis was asked which of the two brothers he likes the least.
He opted for Jake but his answer was called out for a lie, to which he responded: "I'll be knocking Jake out after Logan, maybe on the same night. He better not come close to me." Danis has been the most active of the four main event fighters in the build-up to the bouts with the American taking particular aim at Paul's fiancee Nina Agdal.
The model filed a lawsuit against the MMA fighter which saw Danis slapped with a restraining order just weeks before his fight. But Danis has refused to back down, saying: “It is years of me and the Pauls going back and forth. I don’t take anything personal, it’s just business. I don’t care about the guy or his w***e fiancee."
Danis will be making his boxing debut on Saturday night having made his name in MMA promotion Bellator. Paul, meanwhile, will walk to the ring for the fourth time following his fight with Mayweather and his two with KSI. Paul and KSI arguably catapulted influencer boxing into the mainstream when they clashed in Manchester five years ago. That first fight was scored a draw before KSI won their professional rematch in Los Angeles in 2019.
Logan Paul insists Dillon Danis' memes about fiancee Nina Agdal are "all good"
Danis arrived in the UK earlier this week to allay fears he would fail to turn up having pulled out of a bout with KSI earlier this year. In an attempt to prevent his opponent no-showing, Paul insisted on including a $100,000 fine in the contract in case of such an eventuality. “I’m convinced he’s not going to show up,” Paul said when the fight was announced. “The clause is this: If he pulls out because of some sort of injury that he fakes, a doctor of our choosing has to verify the injury. And then if he is indeed faking it, he has to pay $100,000. There is a pull-out clause.”
