Former Bellator fighter Dillon Danis is preparing to enter the boxing ring for the first time as he is scheduled to face off against WWE star and popular influencer Logan Paul on October 14 at the Misfits X DAZN: The Prime Card event in Manchester, UK.
Although a newcomer to boxing, Danis is undoubtedly an expert at using social media to his advantage. The MMA fighter has consistently attacked Logan Paul and his future wife, Nina Agdal, using memes and old pictures to spotlight the Danish supermodel’s romantic past.
While leveraging social media and using trash talk for fight promotion are standard practices, Danis has not cared for any boundaries. He went as far as sharing a naked image of Agdal engaged in a kiss with another man.

Danis is not ready to stop despite alleged legal notice from Logan Paul, as he recently uploaded an image of himself donning a hat that read, “Nina, you can come to my room after I win.” While these attempts by Danis may or may not have affected Logan and Nina’s relationship, fans feel that the former Jiu-Jitsu champion is winning the trolling game.
Logan Paul himself took a jab at Dillon Danis’ past relationship as he claimed that his brother Jake had slept with Danis’ girlfriend. However, Danis had a brutal reply ready for this statement by Logan too, as he famously said, “At least I got rid of the sl*t; you are marrying one”. This exchange took place at the press conference for their fight, which had to be stopped midway as things got heated pretty fast.
Logan Paul finally defends Nina Agdal amidst constant attacks by Dillon Danis.
Despite Dillon Danis’ constant efforts to provoke Logan Paul, the popular podcaster did not do much to defend his fiancée. While Danis expressed that Logan Paul had issued a cease-and-desist legal notice to him, fans were confused as to why Logan Paul was not actively supporting his significant other.
However, the elder Paul brother has finally taken a stand for his fiancee, Nina Agdal, and defended her after all the recent drama regarding her romantic past. “My fiancee is a f*cking angel. He’s twisted the narrative of her relationship with long-term boyfriends getting paparazzid over the course of her adult life,” said Logan Paul in a video released by Misfits Boxing.

The reaction from the WWE star was long overdue and came after weeks of trash-talking by Danis. The YouTuber turned-boxer would like to take revenge in their boxing match on October 14. Logan is by far the clear favorite for their match-up, as Danis is a Jiu-Jitsu champion but is not really known for his boxing. However, it will still be a pretty fun fight to watch for the fans after all the crazy events leading up to it.
