Nobody knows for sure if the Dillon Danis vs Logan Paul fight will ever come to fruition, but Danis is doing his best to grind Paul’s gears ahead of the boxing match.
While Danis has been posting photos of Paul’s fiancee constantly on social media, it was Paul’s choice to post a face-off with Mike Perry – the backup fighter should Danis pull out of the matchup – that got under Danis’ skin.
Dillon Danis Mad About “Really Stupid” Logan Paul Stunt
“It bothers me. It bothers me that he posted that picture. It just makes me wanna — not make me not want to show up, but it just pisses me off to the point where it’s like, ‘F*** you.’
It’s just like, why are you trying to divert and not promote our fight? That I’m here in London, I’m here doing all this press, I’m building this fight up, and he’s just trying to — I feel like because I’m in such in his head and I’m roasting him so hard, he tries to deflect everything. He never directs at me, too.
It’s either at Conor [McGregor] or somewhere else. It’s really weird. He never wants to kind of engage with me. It’s really stupid.”
Danis was a grappling prodigy signed to Bellator, best known for his relationship with Conor McGregor during the Irishman’s meteoric rise to fame.
Danis has never capitalized on his early potential, with only two fights under the Bellator banner to his name. Although he has never boxed before, Danis is promising not only to show up, but to knock Paul out on the spot.
“Well, in the contract, unless I get hit by a car or something, yeah. I mean, I don’t know anything can happen, but yeah, in the contract I have to show or it’s $100,000 fine, or the doctors have to check me. So yeah, something crazy happens. I don’t know, you never know in life, but I’ll be there.
I think a knockout. A knockout or his corner throws in the towel, it’s such a bad beating. Either one, I don’t mind, just beating his ass. I can’t wait to punch him in the face. I wanted to hit him so bad today.
I was going to throw that chair right at him. I was just worried about poking the two guys in the middle’s eyes with the thing. But I was trying to, and you grabbed me. I was trying to get every chair out there.”
