Dillon Danis has claimed boxing fans will support him over Logan Paul because he has refused to be two-faced.
Danis will make his boxing debut against the elder Paul brother in Manchester on Saturday night, sharing top billing with KSI's clash against Tommy Fury. Danis had been due to take on KSI earlier this year before pulling out and being replaced by Joe Fournier.
The build-up to Saturday night has been dominated by Danis' relentless trolling of Paul's fiancee, model Nina Agdal, who filed a lawsuit and secured a restraining order against the American. But Danis believes staying true to himself as won over the fans.
"I like it because I didn't change, I didn't turn face, I'm the same person," he said on the Flagrant podcast when asked if it was weird to be liked. "I think that's why people support me and not Logan because Logan is trying to be a good guy when he's a bad guy.
"I haven't changed, I'm the same s***-talking motherf*****, and people know I'm real. I can take the jokes, you can make fun of me and I can take it, Logan can't; he goes into his shell and starts suing. He'll cut people off his crew; he's a bully and he's egotistical. Anyone who's not a yes man, he makes them sign NDAs then cuts them off."

Danis and Paul have also been embroiled in a row over drug-testing with Danis questioning his rival's physique. Paul has consistently denied using steroids but Danis took to social media last night to claim neither man has been tested ahead of Saturday night's fight.
"How convenient that our random drug testing is two days before the fight, and we still haven’t been tested. Logan is a juice head scamming cheater. No wonder he sues people, little boy has no balls," said Danis.
