Logan Paul is set to return to the boxing ring after two years, facing Dillon Danis who has a longer absence from fighting; despite Danis’ combat experience, Paul’s prior boxing experience, including a bout with Floyd Mayweather, makes him the favorite to win.
Logan Paul is all set to return to boxing in October for the first time in two years. Interestingly, this is still less time away from action compared to his rival, Dillon Danis. Paul is not new to the boxing ring, having earlier faced Floyd Mayweather in an eight-round exhibition bout. This past experience places him as the overwhelming favourite to win against Danis when they face off on October 14 in Manchester, England.
The odds and predictions for the match were released on Tuesday, predictably favouring Paul in a big way. This bout will mark the boxing debut for Danis, who was originally supposed to fight KSI in January, before pulling out at the last minute. The opening odds for Paul vs. Danis, released by Sportsbetting.ag, sit at a sizeable -1000 for Paul and +600 for Danis. The stakes spell out that a $1000 bet on Paul would only net a $100 return if he wins, whereas a $100 bet on Danis would return $600 if he pulls a surprise victory.
Despite his background as a world-class grappler and his Bellator MMA fight history, Danis has largely spent recent years engaged in social media feuds, rather than in the boxing ring or cage. Paul, on the other hand, will be stepping into the ring for the fourth time, the most recent of his previous fights being the bout with Mayweather back in 2021. This fight was his third overall, following two matches with KSI. Aside from boxing, Paul has also been managing his energy drinks venture, Prime Energy, in collaboration with KSI, and has pursued a wrestling career at WWE. Their fight will be co-headlined by the fight between KSI and Tommy Fury at the AO Arena in Manchester, with both matches available for viewing through DAZN pay-per-view in the United States.
