In the short but glorious history of influencer boxing, no other fight has garnered so much attention on X (Twitter). Even though trash talk is a ritual that fighters follow diligently, never has it caused a lawsuit before. In the pursuit to market the fight and establish a mental dominance over Logan Paul, Dillon Danis has achieved a new feat in combat sports. But at what cost? Some would say he gained a massive following. Others will claim that he boosted his public image. But was it worth $150,000?

According to reports, Nina Agdal has filed a lawsuit against Dillon alongside requesting a restraining order. Things get even worse for ‘El Jefe’ as the $150,000 is for each derogatory tweet he has made against Agdal. As per a report from TMZ Sports, Dillon has tweeted over 250 times since the announcement of the fight. Surprisingly, this news did not faze Danis. He is seemingly worried more about the face-to-face video uploaded by Logan. In the video, Danis was slurring and unable to speak. So, Dillon took to X, sharing an update with his followers.

After Logan and Dillon’s face-to-face video surfaced on X, fans started pointing fingers at Dillon for being scared of the fight. Even the video itself portrayed Dillon as being nervous during the face-to-face. But in a recent tweet, he called out Logan for editing the video to portray Dillon as scared and out of words. The tweet read, “Hearing from my people who have the full version, Logan asked DAZN to edit out a lot of parts. This guy is such a fraud, man.”

According to Dillon, the complete video is totally different from what Logan shared in his tweet. ‘El Jefe’ then proceeds to call Logan a complete fraud for showing the edited clip. While it’s not clear if the accusations are true, it creates a lot of anticipation for the entire video. But is this chatter about Logan wanting to change the rules for the match?

However, according to a report from Marca, that is not enough for Logan anymore. Moreover, Dillon claimed that Logan previously rejected the opportunity to make the match 12 rounds. Logan denies that claim, saying he reached out to Danis’ manager and got no reply. So, the final verdict is that the match will have the original six rounds.
