Logan Paul will face MMA fighter Dillon Danis on October 14th, 2023, on the KSI vs Tommy Fury card.
Paul’s last boxing match was an exhibition against Floyd Mayweather. He managed to hold his own as he went the distance with ‘TBE.’
Since then, the star has dabbled in WWE, having appeared at Smackdown and Wrestlemania.
In contrast, Danis is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu champion, as well as a teammate of Conor McGregor.
But after having fought in Bellator, this will be a new experience as he gets ready for his boxing debut.
He was set to face KSI in a boxing bout only to pull out due to a reported lack of preparation.
But now that the attention will be on fight night come October, both fighters were focused on the task ahead.
October 14th, I'll be gracing the boxing ring for my debut. Gotta show up because the Paul sisters have a phobia when it comes to actual combat.

“Almost two years after fighting the greatest boxer of all time, I am so pumped to return to the boxing ring on October 14, for this monster Misfits show.
“The world has seen the energy, athleticism and showmanship I’ve brought to WWE, but this October I plan on reminding everyone that I can bring it to boxing too,” Paul
“I couldn’t care less what Logan Paul has done in the WWE, because when he is in the boxing ring, he is in a completely different world. It’s a world of pain, a world where he doesn’t have control and it’s my world, not his. On October 14, in Manchester, Logan Paul is getting beat down,” Danis
Despite both fighters having plenty to say, many fans questioned whether the fight would go ahead due to Danis’ previous record of pulling out against KSI.
