YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan Paul doesn’t like Dillon Danis’ trash talk. With the pair set to clash in the co-main event at the October 14 Misfits Boxing event, Paul believes that Danis’ approach to fight promotion has gone too far. Danis has repeatedly posted pictures of Paul’s fiancee with other men online, and Logan Paul is deeply unhappy with the behavior.
“I think he has gone too far. It’s not affected me, no, because when I entered this fight, I knew Dillon was a scumbag. I didn’t think he’d take it as far as he did. But, you know, actions have consequences.
Logan Paul: When Dillon Danis Went “Too Far”
I think he’s going to get what’s coming to him. I think the people online are speaking for me. Me and my girl don’t have to defend ourselves, or try to prove our love for the world.
Like, my fiancee is a f****** angel. He’s twisted a narrative of her relationship with long-term boyfriends getting paparazzi’d over the course of her adult life, and he’s good. He’s a good Twitter troll. But again, he’s going to pay for it.”
Paul, despite taking issue with Danis’s conduct, claims not to care too much about the fight. “I don’t fight with emotion.
To be honest, I don’t care about Dillon Danis. He’s, I don’t know, just such an afterthought. So, yeah, I’m definitely going to be able to control my emotions. He’s just the person in front of me for this fight, and he’s doing a good job building it up.”
Paul, who is currently wrestling with the WWE, believes that he’ll have the upper hand against Danis, an older, smaller opponent with no boxing experience.
“I honestly think I could do whatever I want to him. He’s a Brazilian jiu-jitsu guy, and he’s not even good at that. I don’t know how he thinks he’s going to box.
Striking is his worst forte. I’ve been boxing for five years, went toe-to-toe with Floyd Mayweather, 0-1, that should say enough about how good I am.”
Paul went on to dismiss Danis’ online antics as “Twitter noise.” “The Twitter noise, bro, understand this: I’ve been the most hated person in the world at one point.
Like, really, maybe more than one point. Survived all of it, made my personal changes, had the comeback I thought I could, because I knew I could be a better person, and I can really viscerally understand that this too shall pass.
So all this internet chatter, online noise, like, yo, if you put your phone down, social media does not exist. It’s not a real place, and I get that, and it’s good promo for the fight.”
