Anyone following the influencer boxing scene will know about Dillon Danis and his latest feud with Logan Paul. Whilst the beef has mostly been online, there was a time when the two almost had an altercation at a party. Notably, this was not just a regular altercation as it almost escalated into a shootout.
Speaking on the FULL SEND PODCAST, Dillon spoke more about the situation. As it turns out, Logan, Jake, and Mike Majlak were at a party in New York. Around the same time, ‘El Jefe’ happened to be on crutches as he was recovering from an injury. However, he vividly remembers the incident and shared it on the podcast.
“I was on one side of the table and he (Logan) was on the other side, and he was like all freaked out, shitting his pants. He came over to the table and he was like, ‘Can you pinky promise me, you won’t do anything? I pinky promised and I’m on crutches”. Further, Dillon adds, “He didn’t realize who I am in New York or the connections I have. I stopped him from getting murdered that night, ’cause they were gonna shoot him in the back of the head”.
As it turns out, the whole incident started when IMPAULSIVE co-host Mike got into a verbal scuffle with someone at the party. The matter further escalated the person, pulled a gun on the YouTuber, and threatened to shoot him. However, as Dillon states, he stepped in and diffused the situation before Logan, Mike, or Jake got hurt.
Did Dillon Danis threaten to shoot Logan Paul?
Previously, before the announcement of their fight, many wondered why Logan was on bad terms with Dillon. At the time, it was Jake who was beefing with Danis, even bringing his girlfriend into the mix. In addition to that, the gun incident is likely to have left a mark as Logan is still concerned about it.
Speaking on the FLAGRANT podcast with Andrew Schulz, Logan gave his own, much shorter version of the story. “Actually, here in New York one time, Actually Dillon, me and Jake have all been kind of beefing for some time. We were at a party, this is when Dillon was on the crutches and one of his boys pulled a gun on Mike,” Paul said. As per their statements, the incident likely took place early last year.
Since then, there have been a lot of developments in the Danis-Paul rivalry. Firstly, Danis was set to fight KSI earlier this year. However, Danis pulled out of the fight and will now take on The Maverick in the main event of MF x DAZN: The Prime Card. Ahead of the fight, their rivalry has reignited with Danis causing a massive stir on social media.
Taking aim at Logan’s newly engaged fiancee Nina Agdal, Danis has been rampant with his trolling the past week. Despite being given a legal notice and a warning, the jiu-jitsu ace is showing no signs of slowing down. With that said it will be interesting to see how the situation progresses into the build-up of the fight.
