The teammate of Conor McGregor, Dillon Danis, is set to square off against WWE star Logan Paul in a six round boxing match. While Danis boasts a background in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, it’s his social media theatrics that have significantly bolstered the fight’s promotion, generating substantial excitement. The event’s fight card is brimming with thrilling matchups, including two main events: Tommy Fury vs. KSI and Danis vs. Paul. Scheduled for October 14th in Manchester, England, this event is attracting a lot of attention. As the realm of influencer boxing is picking up pace with this fight, many are eagerly awaiting details about the fighters’ purses. It is of particular interest, given Danis’ recent $400k setback due to legal issues.
In the lead-up to the fight, ‘El Jefe‘ relentlessly targeted Paul’s fiancé, Nina Agdal, as part of their promotional rivalry. This led Agdal to file a lawsuit against Danis, placing a substantial financial burden on him. Nevertheless, this legal dispute has added an intriguing storyline to the upcoming fight.
