Backstage footage shows Dillon Danis calling for Logan Paul to be disqualified due to illegal punch

Dillon Danis believes Logan Paul should have been disqualified for an illegal punch in their fight on Saturday night.

The pair went head-to-head in Manchester in a bizarre clash, as Danis attempted to turn it into an MMA fight on numerous occasions, with Paul clearly being the superior boxer.

And in the final round of the fight, it all spilled over as Danis tried a guillotine choke, but he found himself down on the canvas, as Paul threw punches his way.

Danis jumped back up and attempted to get to Paul but security was quickly in the ring, followed by the MMA fighter's entourage and a mass brawl broke out.

As such, Paul was handed the victory via disqualification, but Danis believes it should have been the other way around.

Backstage footage emerged of Danis returning to his dressing room and he could be heard complaining, as he said: "I ate every single one of his shots."

Before continuing: "He hit me on the ground, isn't that a DQ, it's bulls***."

And this was not the only controversy of the night, as the result of Tommy Fury vs KSI, which happened on the same card, was also brought into question post-fight.

Fury emerged victorious by majority decision, but many people believed KSI should have won or it at least was a draw, including middleweight contender Chris Eubank Jr and promoter Eddie Hearn.

As for KSI himself, he described the judges' scorecards as 'outrageous' and has said he wants to appeal the decision.
