A look at Danis’ failed takedown
Danis didn’t successfully attack Paul here, but he certainly embarrassed himself.
No words from Danis
Danis was not interviewed in the ring after his bizarre appearance. Maybe we’ll get some answers from him soon, but for now it looks like he was just going along with the Paul hype to get his paycheck.
Paul says he’s moving back to WWE… before confronting Conor McGregor
Paul calls Rey Mysterio of all people and says he wants the WWE US title. He doesn’t seem particularly keen on boxing in the future, unless of course “goblin” (his words) McGregor agrees to fight him.
Logan Paul: “Dillon Danis is a COWARD”
“It’s not easy to deal with a guy like that. He is a true demon… Sometimes the devil forces his way into your life… Stand up for yourself, stand up for your loved ones.”
Danis was disqualified… but Paul had won every round before anyway
We expected the result, but now we may be able to find out why Danis approached it the way she did.
Waiting for the inevitable
You don’t have to be a boxing expert to know that Paul – the only fighter who took this fight seriously – will be crowned the winner. What he and Danis say afterwards will be more interesting.
Security storms the ring
Sure-to-lose Danis tries to attack Paul again, Paul hits Danis while he’s on the ground and a brawl breaks out in the ring. The corners of both sides come into the ring, bottles are thrown and Danis really made a farce of it. A bizarre scene and a sure victory for Paul.
Danis tries to attack Paul!
Danis makes a non-boxing move as he attacks his opponent’s legs. He doesn’t take it seriously at all and has lost a point for it. Paul’s security even briefly entered the ring!
Only 9 strokes for Danis!
According to the DAZN broadcast, this is a shockingly low number for Danis and highlights how poor this performance was.
Lap 5: Taunts from Logan as he nears the finish line
It’s Paul who has the crowd drawn to him and despite a slightly more even round, he’s just one round away from easily winning this fight. Danis has no chance of defeating him unless he knocks him unconscious.
Round 4: More boos from the audience for Danis!
It’s a huge change from just a few minutes ago when Danis went out and was considered the fans’ favorite. He’s still barely landed any punches and the audience, who certainly spent a lot of money on their tickets, is starting to lose patience.
Round 3: Is Danis taking this seriously?
He throws backhands, once puts him on the ground for fun and hardly bothers with Paul. The tire-out method made sense at first, but the fight is now half over. Paul has definitely won this race so far.
Round 2: Paul comes to life with some heavy punches
The first part of the round started the same way and there were even some boos from the audience as Danis continued to play defense. But Paul found his luck in the corner as he hit Danis with some big body shots.
Round 1: Danis likes to defend
The Brazilian jiu-jitsu star barely threw any punches in the first round, instead just blocking Paul’s punches. It seems like he’s trying to tire him out – but Paul seems to be in good shape.
Testy scenes in the ring
There are dozens of security guards who separate the pair before the fight actually begins. And Paul just said to Danis, “I forgive you.” This is clearly an emotionally charged fight – and the audience loves it.
Danis also appears – with the crowd on his side
The crowd seemed to be on Dani’s side as he walked out, with the Manchester crowd dancing to the hit ‘Freed from Desire’.
Paul makes his way to the ring!
As “Many Men” by 50 Cent blares from the speakers, Paul makes his way to the ring in a pink robe. A rousing performance.
“He’ll be too emotional!”
Fight reporter Ariel Helwani has backed underdog Danis to win the fight as he feels the pressure will be too much on Paul and the social media star will struggle to keep his composure against Danis. Time will tell whether he is right.
More stars in the building!
Lots of stars are at the Manchester Arena to see Paul-Danis (and of course KSI-Fury) and that includes Manchester’s own Aitch. The rapper spoke to DAZN before the fight and was funny as always.
Paul and Danis are next!
The last fight before Paul and Danis is over because Slim Salt defeated Papi. It can’t be long before Paul and Danis are in the ring.
A lot depends on Logan Paul for Drake!
The rapper is known to have bet huge amounts on sporting events – including $700,000 on the Chiefs winning the last Super Bowl (which was correct). Now he has risked $850,000 of his own money for Paul to defeat Danis. Read more:
It’s almost time…
Danis is currently preparing for tonight’s fight in Manchester. Are all his statements confirmed?
Tyson Fury in the building!
Of course, Tommy Fury and KSI will face off after Paul and Danis, and the most successful Fury boxer is in the house to look after his younger half-brother. He will face Francis Ngannou on October 28th.
Paul “forgives” Danis
Speaking to Ariel Helwani before the fight, Paul said he had “a moment of zen” last night and now forgives Danis for the very personal trash talk of the last few months.
There is no love lost between these two
We’ve already told you about the violence that erupted at this week’s weigh-in, but see for yourself: Paul and Danis threw a microphone at each other, with Paul’s face bloodied in the incident. If you have any doubts about these two faking something on camera, this video will probably change your mind.
Danis is ready to go!
The loudmouth fighter has been building anticipation for this fight and the day is finally here. Only time will tell whether he will be as calm and collected again after the match.
Sealed with a kiss!
We’re not far from Paul-Danis now, and the former posted a loved-up photo with his fiancée Nina Agdal before the fight. Of course, Danis has already posted a lot about Agdal on the Internet – so much that she has filed a restraining order against him!
Danis makes his grand entrance
Danis continued his trolling until the day of the fight
Dillon Danis trolling Logan Paul’s fiancée Nina Agdal has only given his rival more ammunition, a source previously told .
Paul takes to the ring tonight to avenge the vile attacks on his fiancée.
“Dillon’s constant trolling has only changed Logan’s attitude to hating Dillon even more,” a source close to Paul told .
“He would love to be arrested and held accountable for all this trolling.” Logan wants to get in the ring right away and make Dillon’s face look like minced meat. He literally hates him.
“Logan is training as hard as he can and in his mind and in his team’s mind he has to win. “There is no other option that can happen.
“If Logan loses this fight, it will be the biggest professional embarrassment he has ever had and he will never be able to forgive himself or make excuses for it.” He wants to make Nina proud and avenge everything that was done to her. “Taking Dillon out is what has to happen, anything else wouldn’t be good.”
Logan Paul is in the house
Logan Paul has arrived with his fiancée Nine Agdal as he prepares to cast his spell on Dillon Danis and avenge his rival’s personal attacks on the model.
Dillon Danis got physical before the fight even started, hitting Logan Paul with a microphone at the final press conference on Thursday.
Danis and Paul were on stage discussing their upcoming fight when the ugly scenes broke out.
Danis was angry about some comments Paul made about an alleged daughter of his.
The couple engaged in a verbal argument before becoming physical. Danis lunged at Paul and hit the 28-year-old in the face with his microphone – hitting him cleanly on Paul’s forehead.
Despite the cut, Logan is still ready to continue the fight tonight
Whindersson Nunes vs. My Mate Nate
Whindersson Nunes vs. My Mate Nate is the next battle in the battle of the influencers.
Many interviews have talked about how many followers they have beforehand, but ultimately it’s My Mate Nate who comes out on top where it counts; the ring.
All judges score the fight 40:36 in favor of My Mate Nate, who represents Thailand in the fight.
The stage is set…
NichLmao & Alex Wassabi vs. Luis Alcaraz Pineda & BDave
The first fight of the night on the main card is a tag team bout pitting NichLmao and Alex Wassabi against Luis Alcaraz Pineda and BDave.
With the Misfits’ first-ever tag team championship on the line, the outcome of the match was interesting to watch… and it didn’t have the outcome the crowd wanted.
Loud boos can be heard in Manchester as the fight is announced as a draw.
One of the judges scores Pineda & BDave 39-37, the next judge scores Wassabi & NichLmao 39-37, the last judge scores 38-38.
Dillon Danis has been dominating the headlines – and making most of them himself – in the lead-up to his fight with Logan Paul, and not for the right reasons.
Although both fighters sought an advantage over the other in the mind games, it was Danis who took their feud to a completely different and toxic level.
Paul’s fiancée, model Nina Agdal, found herself in the firing line when Danis regularly used her to target his opponent.
Day after day, he started posting half-naked pictures of Agdal and even shared a private video in which she talked about her sexual desires.
The end result was an injunction and a lawsuit by the Dane against Danis.
