The drama between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis seems to be jacking up ahead of their highly anticipated October 14th bout. This fight promises to be a spectacle, as both fighters have engaged in a war of words on social media, adding fuel to the pre-fight hype. The YouTube influencer turned boxer has been gearing up to face off against the MMA fighter in a 6-round exhibition match. This fight is going to be a PPV gold mine, as it is set to generate some serious revenue. Dillon Danis, as part of his pre-game strategy, has relentlessly targeted Logan Paul’s fiancée, Nina Agdal, which has upset many onlookers. Logan Paul though, had filed for a cease and desist, which hasn’t slowed down by any means.
With both sides gathering mental ammunition as a means of psychological warfare, in this particular instance, Logan Paul might be having the upper hand. Clips have surfaced of a mandatory interview for DAZN recorded ahead of their press conference. We can observe Dillon Danis stumbling and grappling to utter a single sentence, a sight that seemed to greatly please Logan Paul. Fans, as usual, did not disappoint with their opinions, having tons of insightful things to say.

Logan Paul took to Twitter to quickly release a snippet of the interview, with the caption “Internet Troll in Real Life.” Probably to emphasize the fact that keyboard warriors seldom are unable to have the same credence away from it.
On the other hand, Dillon claims that someone manipulated the snippet to portray him as lackluster.
This was completely edited by him to look this way. Just wait until the full thing comes out; classic Logan Paul. I can't wait for everyone to see how badly I roast him. https://t.co/aOOI6oXyoF

Fans though were quick to shut Dillon’s delusions up.
Like this fan taking a stand against bullying and misogyny, calling out anyone who supports Dillon’s recent Twitter tirade.
If you support what Dillon is doing then you are clearly misogynistic. Bullying an innocent queen who has done nothing to him is nothing but disgusting. Stop this immediately and realise the impact of your actions. Put an end to the bullying now!

Or this fan who pointed out that editing doesn’t change how you fumble.
Editing doesn’t change how you fumble your words like that. @LoganPaul will get a 1st round KO on you.

Future Implications: What’s at Stake?
With all this being said, it appears that we can still have some faith in humanity. While we understand that all is fair in love and war, it’s important to acknowledge that there are serious lines being crossed. Posting pictures of an innocent third party and calling upon people to shame them is not what this sport is about.

According to the northwaleslive, Joe Calzaghe, the celebrated boxing Hall of Famer at the Goldstar Promotions event at Abergele Kinmel Manor expressed his dismay about the sorry state of this hype culture. He says “I just don’t get it, I can’t understand why these guys get more respect and more coverage than proper fighters and even world champions. If you can’t fight and you’re an average boxer, just become a YouTuber and you’ll earn millions from boxing – I can’t understand it.”
So, as we eagerly anticipate the showdown between Dillon Danis and Jake Paul, let’s also take a moment to appreciate the sweat, sacrifice, and skill that have made boxing the sport it is today.
