After touching down in England yesterday, Dillon Danis spoke to Radio Rahim as part of his fight week media obligations. The interview was uploaded to the ‘Seconds Out’ YouTube channel earlier today.
Will Dillon Danis show up?
Radio Rahim told Danis that although he turned up for this interview, a lot of people think that he won’t show up on the night to fight Logan Paul.
”What, I’m not going to show up? What would I do? Just not going to walk out there? Do you think I’m scared of Logan Paul?” Danis said.
He then confirmed that he will be making the walk to the ring on Saturday night in Manchester. The comments will appease the hierarchy at DAZN, who would’ve been apprehensive that Danis might pull out of the fight, as he did earlier in the year when he was scheduled to box KSI. Danis said that this was not comparable as KSI was, in his eyes, not a real fighter, unlike Paul, who fought Floyd Mayweather.
Danis feels that a fight against Logan Paul is a lot bigger than a fight with KSI would have been due to the fact there has been some beef with the Paul brothers as far back as 2018, and ever since then, the storyline has slowly built. At the end of 2020, Danis was shooting an episode of Food Truck Diaries with Brendan Schaub when Logan Paul’s brother, Jake, pulled up and threw toilet paper at Danis before driving off. The silly stunt got people talking, and Danis and the Paul brothers have been involved in some intermittent back and forth ever since.
Things turned a bit ugly shortly after the fight between Danis and Paul was announced as the former began to publish many posts on social media targeting Logan Paul’s fiance, resulting in her filing a lawsuit against Danis. When asked by Radio Rahim if he thought his method of promoting the fight was ethical, Danis defended his actions:
”It would only work with him [Logan Paul] because he’s a scumbag. It wouldn’t work if it was like a nice guy with a nice family, you know what I mean? I wouldn’t do that. I know that everything [Danis has posted] is real. Why do you think she’s mad about it? You wouldn’t get mad if I said something to you and it wasn’t real,” explained Danis.
Danis’ thoughts on the fight
Radio Rahim then asked Danis how he would defeat Logan Paul, to which he replied by pressuring him to the point that Paul quits, as he doesn’t believe him to be a real fighter or to possess the same heart that he (Danis) has.
The trolling continued as Danis said that he thinks Logan Paul will break up with his fiance if he loses the fight, and Danis seems confident in his ability to get a victory despite the fact that he’s not a boxer. Luckily, we don’t have to wait much longer to find out as the bout is this weekend.
