In the build-up to the Dillon Danis V Logan Paul fight on the 14th of October, tempers have reached extreme levels which have seen Dillon Danis throw a mic at Logan Paul after Paul poorly threw an object at Danis.
Watch Danis split Paul’s eye with a well-placed throw
The rivalry between YouTube star Logan Paul and MMA fighter Dillon Danis has reached a boiling point. The two are set to face off this Saturday, October 14th, in a highly anticipated boxing match at Manchester’s AO Arena. However, at the pre-fight press conference on Thursday evening, tensions exploded when Danis threw a microphone at Paul’s head, cutting his forehead.
Buildup to the Chaotic Danis V Paul Press Conference
In the months leading up to the fight, Danis and Paul have traded vicious insults on social media and in interviews. Danis has repeatedly gone after Paul’s fiancée, model Nina Agdal, leading Agdal to file a $150,000 lawsuit and temporary restraining order against the MMA fighter.
At Thursday’s press conference, it’s believed Danis made inappropriate comments about his opponent’s alleged daughter. This appeared to be the final straw for Paul.
The Danis Mic Attack that Draws Blood
Video footage shows Danis suddenly grabbing the microphone on the table in front of him and hurling it directly at Paul’s head. The heavy mic struck Paul’s forehead, cutting him and leaving blood streaming down his face.
Security immediately swooped in to pull Danis away as he continued shouting at Paul. Medics tended to Paul’s wound while the YouTuber stared down his opponent.
Fight Still On Despite Nasty Cut
Many have questioned whether Saturday’s fight will still go ahead after Danis’ dangerous mic attack. But Paul seems intent on stepping into the ring, no matter what.
He took to social media after the incident to fire back at Danis. On X (formerly Twitter), Paul reposted “Dillon can’t escape me. The fight is very much happening, the stakes just got higher.”
Paul also shared a selfie displaying the bloody cut and bruise on his forehead. He captioned the photo “Can’t see the haterz (sic)”.
Danis, for his part, showed no remorse online. He shared a photo of Paul’s blood dripping on the floor with the caption “Play with fire get burnt p****”.
Chaotic Press Conference Raises Anticipation for Danis V Paul Fight
While Danis’ actions could be seen as going too far, there’s no denying the pre-fight drama has raised anticipation for Saturday’s boxing match even higher.
Paul and Danis have a fierce rivalry, and their hatred for each other is now crystal clear. One thing is for sure – when these two step into the ring, fireworks will fly.
