Logan Paul is returning to the boxing ring after two years on October 14. He will take on now other than Conor McGregor‘s friend and training partner, Dillon Danis. While the atmosphere is becoming increasingly tense in anticipation of the much-awaited boxing clash, Danis is persistently making derogatory remarks about Paul’s fiancee. So much so that he recently cautioned ‘The Maverick‘ against publishing a photograph that could result in the Bellator fighter’s incarceration.

Notably, the pair have never liked each other, and everything will come down to their fight at Misfits X DAZN: The Prime Card. But what did Logan have to say about his rival after facing this much of a personal attack from Danis? Well, per Paul, he would put Danis behind the bars.

‘The Maverick’, in a recent episode of ‘Flagrant’, claimed he and Dillon Danis once sat down for a considerable amount of time without any third-party involvement. During that meeting, Paul questioned Conor McGregor’s friend about the photo that he’s been talking about. However, the YouTuber claims that Danis was just lying about it.

Paul said, “In it [their meeting], he was asked about that photo. And I was like, ‘Bro, you know what I think? I think you’re a f***ing liar. Not just with this, but with everything.’ ”

Logan Paul claims that Dillon Danis is nothing but “a liar and a troll”. Just like any other fighter, his trash talk is just a medium to get on people’s nerves, he said. “Dylon’s a liar. He lies about everything. He’s a troll. That’s what we do, right? We say sh*t to trigger people,” said the 28-year-old. Moreover, he believes that Danis has already committed a crime.

In the run-up to their fight, Danis has been posting photos of Paul’s fiancée, Nina Agdal, on social media. Some photos seem to be edited to make Agdal look bad, others are simply her old photos with her former partners.

But recently, Danis claimed that he has a “nuclear” photo of Agdal that would ruin her reputation if he released it. Paul has denied this, and he has said that he is not concerned about the photos.

Paul believes McGregor’s friend is already a criminal

The photo controversy has created a lot of drama leading up to the fight between Pail and Danis. It is unclear what the “nuclear” photo is, or if it even exists. However, it has certainly added to the hype surrounding the fight.

Logan Paul claims to have called Dillon Danis’s bluff about the questionable picture that he claims to possess. Moreover, he stated that if the Bellator fighter has already shared the picture with someone; he has already committed a crime.

Paul said, “I called his bluff. I said, ‘No, you don’t [have the photo].’ Even if he did have some grotesque, deranged, explicit photo, this dude was dumb enough to f***ing tweet about having the photo and transferring it already, which is a crime in itself.”

‘The Maverick’ referred to Danis’ earlier claims that he might go to jail if he released the picture of his fiancee, Nina Agdal. That, Paul believes, is already a sign that he’s done something illegal. “If he’s saying he’s going to jail for it, he’s already committed a crime by transferring this explicit non-consensual image to his peers. That’s already illegal,” said the YouTube star.
