CLEVELAND, OHIO: Logan Paul and Dillon Danis are set for their most significant matchup in their combat sports careers on October 14. However, in a peculiar twist, Danis employed misleading tactics, falsely claiming that his opponent had undergone weight changes using X.
Thankfully, Paul promptly addressed the concern by sharing a video of himself on a scale. Despite this, Dillon Danis has reiterated his previous statements, playfully suggesting that he will now face Jake Paul in the co-main event.
Logan Paul rubbishes rumors
In a concise tweet responding to Dillon Danis' recent antics, Logan Paul reiterated that Danis is committed to fighting only him. “You wish. See you tomorrow,” Paul tweeted.
Whether Dillon Danis' peculiar statements are a strategic move in psychological warfare or stem from another motive is yet to be determined.
It's crucial to highlight that Logan Paul limits reactions to his tweets, allowing only those he follows or explicitly mentions to respond.
Despite Logan Paul's widespread recognition and reputation in the influencer boxing scene, he has engaged with a maximum of two opponents.
This sets him apart from his brother, Jake Paul, and close friend and collaborator KSI, both of whom have built impressive records, marked by notable knockouts.

Both Logan Paul and Dillon Danis hit the 195-pound mark, with Danis reaching it first. Danis asserted that Paul missed the weight during the day, but in reality, Paul weighed in at 194.4 pounds, which was less than Danis
The two competitors faced a battle in a cage with a glass wall separating them. Danis insisted on a "real faceoff" with nothing in the middle despite the fact that there was a lot of security present on stage.
Paul reassured that he was unharmed despite receiving a headshot from Danis at the press conference on Thursday. However, the WWE star opted to keep his mask on, maintaining an air of mystery.
In case Dillon Danis attempted any jiu-jitsu tactics, Logan Paul introduced jiu-jitsu superstar Gordon Ryan as a backup. Following this, Ryan directed some strong words at Danis, expressing his intention to send him back to Texas to "wash my car."
