On Saturday, the 14th of October, ‘influencer boxing’ is set to put on its biggest card yet. ‘The Prime Card’ will be headlined by KSI as he takes on his toughest test to date against Tommy Fury. However, due to some Twitter fingers the co-headliner of the event, Dillon Danis vs Logan Paul, is all anyone is talking about. For over a month, Danis has been taking to Twitter to troll Paul’s fiancé, Nina Agdal, with many of the Tweets going viral. In just 28 days, Danis received over two billion views on his Twitter account, with the majority of tweets targetting Agdal, which has resulted in the SBG fighter getting hit with lawsuits from the supermodel.
Dillon Danis Takes Lie Detector Test
Throughout the Twitter wars between Danis and Paul, Paul has made it clear that he believes the Bellator fighter is a compulsive liar, so naturally, DAZN have jumped on this and made a lie detector video with Danis. Some of his questions and answers are below.
Do you respect Logan Paul as a person?
No, because he’s a scumbag. I think he’s egotistical. He bullies people that don’t have the same opinion as him, you know, and makes them sign NDAs. The only thing I respect is he’s actually pretty good at WWE. I’ll give him that.
TRUE
On October 14th, will you defeat Logan Paul?
Yes.
TRUE
Did you pull out of the KSI fight because you were scared?
No. I just think KSI’s a nobody. It was a lose-lose to me because beating him is like ‘Who cares?’. I think me and the Pauls have had a lot of history, and there’s more of a storyline. Logans actually boxed Floyd Mayweather, so he has a little bit of credibility, so at least it’s better. I think KSI sucks, I would have starched him.
TRUE
Do you think Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis should be the main event on Saturday?
Yes, nobody cares about KSI and Tommy.
TRUE
Demetrious Johnson speaks on Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis
The hype around the Danis and Paul fight has captured the attention of one of the greatest to ever do it in the sport of MMA, Demetrious Johnson. On a recent episode of MightyCast, the former UFC flyweight champion reveals why he’s rooting for Dillon Danis this Saturday.
“I feel like maybe this is the guy [Danis] from our sport who can come in and get a victory for mixed martial arts because every single person that the Paul brothers have fought who fought mixed martial arts, they have defeated them. Lo and behold, our saviour Dillon”
