Paul, who had only one boxing match under his career, made a comeback to the world of combat sports after his special showdown with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather in 2021. It was a big deal, considering he hadn’t been in the ring since that bout.
On the flip side, Dillon Danis, with just two MMA fights to his name, last displayed his skills at Bellator 222 in 2019. He had clinched a victory against Max Humphrey, who had an even record of three wins and three losses in MMA. Now, at the age of 30, Danis was stepping into the boxing ring for the very first time in Manchester.
Before their boxing match, ‘Dillon Danis’ and Logan Paul didn’t just exchange words; they had a tussle during a press conference, and their face-to-face interview was fiery, to say the least.
Adding to the drama, Danis stirred up controversy with unkind comments about Nina Agdal, Logan Paul’s fiancée. Agdal, not taking this lightly, took legal action against Danis, claiming that his actions were causing her distress and embarrassment.
With all the buzz leading up to the fight, Paul vs. Danis was undoubtedly the most eagerly anticipated match of the weekend.
However, the actual fight turned out to be rather comical. Logan Paul appeared to be in control, mostly relying on his jab. Meanwhile, ‘Dillon Danis’ spent most of the match defending himself and attempting to execute a takedown in the sixth round. Ultimately, the match was halted due to the chaotic situation in the ring.
The official verdict? Logan Paul emerged victorious as Dillon Danis was disqualified in the sixth round.
While opinions on the fight may vary, one thing is clear – it has sparked a new level of interest and excitement in the world of combat sports.
As Logan Paul continues to defy expectations and blaze a trail in boxing, we can expect to see even more high-profile matches and conversations about the evolving landscape of the fight game.
