Dillon Danis and Logan Paul are set to square off in a boxing match scheduled for October 14th, with the official announcement on August 8th. Since the announcement, the rivalry between the two has escalated significantly on social media. What began as playful banter has now evolved into a full-blown feud, with Danis even involving Paul’s fiancée, Nina Agdal, in the heated exchanges.
In a recent face-to-face video interview for DAZN Boxing, Logan Paul raised the topic of a bet he had proposed to UFC superstar Conor McGregor. However, McGregor is yet to accept this wager, and Danis seems to know the reason behind it.

In the face-off video, Danis mentioned a bet that McGregor had placed on him, with a potential prize of $1.2 million against a $200,000 wager. Logan responded to this by questioning why Conor hadn’t accepted his own bet, which he had proposed in a video shared on Twitter/X, where he offered to bet a million dollars if he defeated Danis.
Danis asserted that Conor hadn’t accepted the bet because ““Coz you’re a sc**bag bro!””
Paul, known for his recent appearances in WWE and his exhibition boxing match against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2021, has prior experience in the ring. In contrast, Dillon Danis, with MMA experience in Bellator, holds two victories by submission but has never competed in professional boxing. This disparity in their boxing experience adds an intriguing element to their upcoming clash.
The outcome of whether McGregor will eventually accept the bet remains uncertain. However, the ongoing feud between Paul and Danis has taken on a life of its own. Importantly, this tension between the two rivals began before they officially agreed to face each other in a boxing match.

Interestingly, this feud between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis dates back to December 2020. Long before their boxing match was even proposed. The initial spark occurred when Logan unexpectedly appeared during one of Dillon’s podcast recordings for Brendan Schaub’s “Food Truck Diaries.” In a heated exchange, Logan referred to the MMA fighter as “Connor McGregor’s little b**ch” and playfully engaged in water balloon and toilet paper attacks.
However, the feud took a more serious turn later when Logan claimed that someone from Danis’s entourage allegedly brandished a firearm. He also threatened his podcast co-host, Mike Majlak, during an incident in New York. This incident further fueled the animosity between the two, laying the groundwork for their eventual boxing showdown.
