The world of combat sports can be ruthless and nasty. Injuries sustained during a fight are common but sometimes the real ugly part comes before the fight. Some fighters like the famous Conor McGregor, know how to get under their opponent’s skin and rattle them before a fight. Therefore, it is no surprise that the Irishman’s friend Dillon Danis has mastered that craft as well.

Danis is scheduled to fight WWE star and YouTube celebrity Logan Paul on 14 October, in a boxing bout in England. The verbal beef between them escalated to new heights when Danis started going after Paul’s fiance. Popular social media names like Adam 22, Lena The Plug, and Andrew Tate were dragged in, blowing it way out of proportion. That being said, a recent video has been going viral that changes the power dynamics between Paul and Danis a little bit.

The verbal spat between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis was starting to look really ugly. Danis uploaded a couple of pictures of Paul’s fiance, Nina Agdal with her former partners. He also threatened to release a photo of Agdal that could possibly ‘land him in jail’ and cost Paul his relationship with his partner, among other things. Things had escalated to a point where Logan Paul reportedly had a cease and desist letter sent to Danis to stop him from humiliating his fiancee.

It seemed that Danis was winning the game of trash-talking by a mile until Logan Paul and him met face-to-face. A video has been doing rounds on social media where Logan Paul and Dillon Danis are seen sitting in a room, caught in a heated exchange of words. In that video, Logan Paul is seen feinting a bottle throw at Danis, which caused Danis to flinch. This only goes to prove that Danis was on his toes during the face-off and there is a possibility that he might be slightly intimidated in the presence of Logan Paul. However, it could also be his reflex working.

In that video, Paul seemed to be the one doing the talking as he proceeded to call Danis a ’30-year-old b***h’. Danis had to sit there and take it. Logan Paul further claimed that before their face-off Danis refused to come out of his hotel room.

It seems that the general notion is that Dillon Danis might actually be frightened of Logan Paul. However, Paul, a smart man, has a clause in place. According to a contract extended by him, Danis will have to pay a sum of $100,000 if he doesn’t turn up at the fight or backs out owing to any illegitimate reasons. The clause further states that if he fakes an injury, then a doctor of Team Paul’s choosing would examine him and take a call. And if it is proven that he is faking an injury to get out of the fight, he would be fined to the tune of the same amount.
