The rivalry between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis still isn’t seeing its end even after the two are done with their fight in the ring. The fight was highly anticipated. And much of the credit goes to Danis for publicizing the fight so much. He made things personal by attacking Paul’s fiancée, Nina Agdal. Moreover, he even ended up getting sued by the Dutch model due to him sharing some inappropriate pictures of her on social media.
Prior to the fight, the YouTuber-turned-boxer had even agreed to have an MMA rematch against the Bellator fighter if he shows up to the fight. However, it appears now that ‘The Maverick’ no longer desires to step in the octagon against Danis.

Paul stated that Danis had trolled for months and had attempted to “ruin someone’s life” before delivering a subpar performance in the ring. He questioned Danis’ integrity, saying, “Back up your words. Are you a man? You can’t talk that much s**t for three months. You can’t try to ruin someone’s life and then come in there with that kind of performance.” Danis is currently appealing his loss to Paul, which was a result of disqualification due to repeated attempts to use illegal MMA moves in a boxing match.
