Logan Paul might not be a fan of Dillon Danis’s shenanigans, yet he can’t deny the hype the Bellator veteran has generated through relentless trolling for their upcoming October 14th showdown.
“Look, I gotta give it to him. Some of his jabs are actually hilarious,” Logan Paul admitted on the Flagrant podcast.
“Let’s be real, every single one hits the mark. The man is a genius on Twitter. He’s pulling off elite-level trolling, and that’s precisely why I picked him to be in the ring with me. I wasn’t expecting him to come out swinging like this on social media, but hey, it got people buzzing, didn’t it? When it comes down to it, it’s all in the name of fight promotion.”
“Dillon can’t stand me,” Paul went on. “And my feelings toward him? Let’s just say I’m not sending him a Christmas card. But I have to acknowledge, he’s a primo troll. The guy practically feeds off the drama, which is why it’ll be a privilege to be the one who knocks some humility into him. That’s the entire reason I signed up for this. I knew he’d make this fight a must-see event, and the chance to give him a reality check? That has me pumped.”
Paul, who is 28 years old, will be squaring off against the 30-year-old Danis in an eight-round boxing duel. The bout is the co-main event for the KSI vs. Fury card set to take place at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England.
In his only professional boxing outing, Paul lost to KSI in a contentious split decision back in 2019. He also went the distance in a non-judged eight-round exhibition fight against Floyd Mayweather in 2021.
Meanwhile, Danis is stepping into the boxing ring for the first time but has a flawless 2-0 record in professional MMA, having fought twice under the Bellator banner. He also boasts a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Danis has made a sport of roasting Paul on social platforms, taking special aim at Paul’s fiancée Nina Agdal. Logan says Danis has posted a staggering 170 pieces of content targeting Agdal, often referencing her past relationships. Paul expressed regret that Agdal has been caught in the line of fire and has vowed to compensate her financially for the stress Danis has inflicted on her.
“The real problem here is the collateral damage. Nina is an innocent third party who has nothing to do with this fight, except being my significant other,” Paul remarked.
“Let me tell you, I said to Nina, ‘You’re dealing with this nonsense like a champ, and I’m gonna make it worth your while with a slice of my prize money.’ I mean, she’s never dealt with this level of hate before. Just because she’s connected to me, suddenly she’s in the hot seat? It sucks, but she’s tough as nails, man. That’s partly why I put a ring on it.”
However, when it comes to actual fighting prowess, Paul has zero worries about his chances against Danis. When questioned about any concerns regarding Danis’s potential to defeat him in the ring, Paul brushed it off as laughable.
“Worry? About Dillon Danis? Listen, normally I don’t drink during training, but it’s Dillon Danis we’re talking about. Need I say more?” Paul concluded.

Wait, Logan Paul is gonna “financially compensate” his fiancée? lol how do you even put a price on that kind of stress?
lol Logan Paul thinks he’s gonna win? man, he doesn’t know what he’s gettin into with Dillon. This is gonna be gud.
so Logan lost to KSI and now he’s confident against a legit MMA guy? Ok buddy, can’t wait to see how this pans out.
This whole thing reads like a script for a reality TV show, smh. But hey, at least it’s entertainin’, right?
Can’t believe Dillon Danis is draggin’ Nina into this mess. Dude needs to chill. That’s low even for a troll.
Man, boxing isn’t what it used to be. Now it’s all YouTubers and Twitter beefs. What happened to the good ol’ days of Ali and Tyson?
“Social Media Savant” haha, that’s one way to put it. Gotta admit tho, this fight’s got me more excited than a Marvel end credits scene.
Logan calls Dillon parasitic but isn’t Logan the same guy who made a name off of YouTube drama? Pot, meet kettle.
Never thought I’d see the day where Twitter trolling becomes a legit fight strategy. What a time to be alive.
