The boxing scenario has become immensely gripping ever since Logan Paul announced his boxing return against Conor McGregor’s teammate Dillon Danis. In fact, this would be much anticipated since the WWE superstar is stepping foot in the boxing ring after two years. Danis, on the other hand, has two professional fights on his resume and is set to have the third one against Paul. However, it was recently publicized on social media that Danis will have to pay $100,000 if he backs out of the fight.
Khamzat Chimaev’s sparring partner and famous mixed martial artist, Darren Till, also proposed to replace Danis, stating he would surely not show up. But little did he know that his proposal would be refused, as a name has been announced as a last resort. The news surfaced on social media eventually, getting surrounded by the netizens.
