Logan Paul has voiced his indifference over whether Dillon Danis shows up for their scheduled boxing match, saying he will win regardless, and if Danis does cancel, he’d be happy to fight backup fighter Mike Perry; he also highlighted a $100,000 fine for Danis if he pulls out dishonestly, stressing that Danis’s legal issues with Paul’s model fiancée, Nina Agdal, should not affect his fight participation.
Logan Paul exudes his confidence in winning the upcoming boxing match against Dillon Danis on October 14. He remains unfazed by the possibility of Danis being absent from the match. The circumstances have opened up another potential scenario for Paul to duel against the backup fighter Mike Perry instead. This might deny him the opportunity for a physical takedown against Danis for the latter’s recurring attacks on his fiancée, model Nina Agdal.
Paul expresses he would rather Danis take the fight. He gave assurance that in the event of Danis’ absence, he wouldn’t mind battling Perry either. He affirmed Nina dealing with Danis in court and claimed victory in either case. An extra motivation was instated for Danis to honor his fight commitment–a hefty penalty of $100,000 if he withdraws due to an unproven injury. This was in addition to a fine of the same amount he reportedly paid to Bellator President Scott Coker for breaking off from his contract with the MMA promotion owned by Paramount.
Another plausible reason for Danis to fight could be the recent federal lawsuit filed against him by Agdal. She claimed that he had violated revenge pornography laws by releasing an explicit photo of her without her consent. She won a court order restricting him from further release when he failed to attend a hearing. Amid all this, Paul praises his fiancée’s courage, stating that this is one reason why he proposed. He said that despite the circumstances, Agdal has maintained her composure and would hold Danis legally accountable.
Danis, on the formerly Twitter or now ‘X,’ claimed that the lawsuit could keep him from the fight. He has been documenting his attempts to dodge process servers–a scenario that didn’t go down well in the court records. According to Paul, Agdal’s lawsuit doesn’t bar Danis from the fight but only touches upon how he promotes it. Despite the uncertainties, Paul feels it’s more likely that Danis will turn up for the fight. Regardless of outcome, he believes that the choice to fight Danis was the right risk to take. He added that if he doesn’t end the fight with Danis, his fiancé will do it in court. He concluded with a firm prediction about Danis’ downfall post-match.
