Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis - follow minute-by-minute updates here


He has instead taken to the WWE over the last couple of years but is now set to make a comeback to take on Conor McGregor’s training partner Danis. 

Danis pulled out of a clash with KSI in January but will now take on the influencer’s business partner in his first-ever boxing bout.

The rivals have been going head-to-head on social media ahead of the fight and Paul has reportedly threatened legal action on Danis due to his posts.

Paul is also so confident that he will beat Danis that he is willing to put a million dollars on the line.

The latest press conference for the fight descended into madness as Danis hurled a microphone at Paul, cutting his check.

There was also controversy over the weigh-in after Danis claimed Paul missed the official deadline.

The two met again at Friday's ceremonial weigh-in where Paul wore a balaclava to cover his cut face as the pair had a final face-off.

MMA star Danis is hours away from the boxing match but was seen in a Manchester cocktail bar on Friday night.
