Videos and photos emerged on Friday night appearing to show Danis at Cloud 23 bar, three miles from the fight venue.
The American was seen drinking non-alcoholic beer surrounded by revellers, who claim the footage was taken on Friday night, 24 hours before the bout.
It has been an eventful two days for the 30-year-old, who cut Paul's face at the pre-fight press conference and then accused his opponent of missing the weigh-in deadline.
Speaking to talkSPORT earlier this week, Danis admitted he is not interested in boxing - and insisted beating Paul would not be high on his list of accomplishments when his career in combat is over.

The American said: “I’m not trying to box. MMA is my game.
“The money is obviously good in this, I can’t lie.
“When I’m on my death bed and I’m talking to my son, I’m not going to be telling him how I beat Logan Paul. I’m going to be telling him about my world championships and UFC championships. Who the f*** cares about Logan Paul?
“I don’t like boxing, it’s half a fight. When we get into a street fight, I’m not going to say, ‘Hey, let’s go get some gloves.' We are going to fight for real and everyone knows I’m going to strangle him unconscious within seconds.
