Manchester. Nightlife. A cocktail bar. Not where you’d expect a fighter just hours away from a headline match. Yet, Dillon Danis, slated to square off against Logan Paul, chose Cloud 23 for his pre-fight scene. His drink? Non-alcoholic beer. An unexpected tweet from Michael Benson revealed this odd pre-match ritual. Gone are the days of solitude and rigorous preparation? Maybe. But Danis isn’t just any fighter.

His choice to sip a sober drink in a city known for its vibrant nightlife has everyone talking. Is this a relaxed approach or a mind game? Perhaps a new-age tactic? The video, sneaked from a private Snapchat story, further adds layers to this mystery. The scene is set: a high-rise bar, low ambient lights, a relaxed Danis, and a drink that’s eventually become the talk of the town.

The tension between Dillon Danis and Logan Paul reached its zenith at a recent press conference. In an unanticipated move, Danis, overwhelmed by the escalating verbal sparring and a bottle being thrown at him, hurled a microphone at Paul. The incident left audiences both in-person and online stunned, further intensifying the anticipation for their upcoming match.

Michael Benson, a prominent sports journalist, added fuel to this already blazing narrative. He tweeted about another intriguing facet of Danis’ pre-fight routine, sharing a video of the fighter at Cloud 23 cocktail bar in Manchester. Rather than appearing tense or deep in preparation, Danis seemed relaxed, even indulging in a non-alcoholic beer.

Fan reactions to both these events have been varied and vocal. One fan believes Danis’ calm demeanor showcases his confidence in an impending victory.

Another fan humorously suggests Danis could defeat Paul even if he had just three hours of sleep.

Another keen observer interprets Danis’ bar outing as an early celebration.

While another user feels Danis might not be adequately prepared for the fight.

Yet, another fan remains confident, hinting that regardless of his pre-fight antics, Danis would still outperform Logan in the ring.
