Logan Paul and rival Dillon Danis stared each other down one more time before their boxing match on Saturday inside the Manchester Arena. Paul, 28, stepped inside the face-off cage wearing a mask in a potential attempt to hide the extent of his injuries and vowed to “decapitate” Danis.
“No concern, I’m feeling beautiful,” Paul said on the cut he took on Thursday. “Dillon Danis is a coward, he’s a predator and I’m f***ing him up, Ariel. I’m f***ing him up tomorrow.” Paul added. “He says a lot of s***. It’s all buls***. He’s looking for any reason he can to pull out of this fight. But it’s coming Dillon, 24hrs and I’m gonna decapitate ur ass.”
Danis, meanwhile, accused Logan Paul of taking cocaine and took final shots at Agdal. “He’s a p****, bro,” Danis said. “He has nothing behind his eyes.”
The two Americans have a long-standing beef, which escalated in the build-up to their boxing match due to Conor McGregor’s old sparring partner, Danis, targeting Paul’s fiancée, Nina Agdal, on social media. The constant posting of photos involving Agdal resulted in a lawsuit being filed, which heightened tensions ahead of their meeting.
A chaotic pre-fight press conference on Thursday nearly threw the whole fight down the drain after Paul was busted open by a microphone held by Danis. Logan Paul’s brother, Jake, a YouTube star-turned-boxer, offered to step in on late notice but the scheduled fight will go ahead.
“I think he’s a scumbag, I think he’s egotistical, he bullies people that don’t have the same opinion as him,” Danis, 30, has said of his rival, Logan Paul. “He makes them sign NDAs and lawsuits and all this s***, I just don’t respect him as a man or a boxer, I think he’s good in WWE, I’ll give him that but I don’t respect him as a person.”
