The fiery conversation occurred as the fighters gathered for a customary pre-fight photo session on the Prime Card. While tensions often run high in these face-offs, nobody expected the eruption of violence that evolved between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis.
Frustrated with Danis’ continuous provocations, Paul threw a microphone at his opponent during their face-off. In retaliation, Danis struck Paul in the head with the thrown microphone, causing the internet sensation to bleed.
Security personnel quickly intervened, separating the two fighters, but not before Paul had suffered the bloody blow.
Danis, who has been unrelenting in his efforts to intensify the feud, took to social media to further taunt his rival, even posting a picture of the blood that resulted from the altercation. He wrote, “Scurrying away like the little b**h he is.”
However, Logan Paul appeared unfazed by the incident.
In response to the altercation, he tweeted, “Dillon can’t escape me. The fight is very much happening; the stakes just got higher.”
The tension between the two fighters has now escalated, and fans can expect an even more intense showdown on October 14.
Logan Paul drops a shocking accusation against Dillon Danis
The long-standing animosity between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis took an even darker turn during the recent Misfits Boxing pre-fight press conference.
As the two competitors sat down for what was anticipated to be another fiery exchange of words, Paul shocked the audience by imposing a severe allegation against Danis.
Paul accused his opponent of purportedly having a daughter named Josephine and claimed that Danis had allegedly abandoned both the child and her mother, as per Fandom Wire.
The press conference reportedly started on a contentious note as Paul confronted Danis about his numerous posts featuring Danish model Nina Agdal, Logan’s fiancee.
However, the confrontation escalated when Paul questioned Danis about his alleged daughter.
Paul said, “You obviously have no respect for women. Is that why you are not acknowledging your daughter?”
Danis vehemently denied having a daughter, but Paul continued to press the issue, asserting that he knew about Josephine and accused Danis of allegedly not acknowledging her.
“Why don’t you acknowledge Josephine and her mom,” Paul said before adding, “Your daughter Josephine, stupid.”
In a swift response, Danis challenged Paul to prove his claim by inviting his alleged daughter onto the stage, implying that many individuals could falsely assert having a child with the YouTube star.
The verbal confrontation quickly escalated into a physical altercation when Paul threw a bottle at Danis, prompting Danis to retaliate by hurling a bottle back at Paul.
Danis competently hit Paul with the microphone, leaving him injured.
Unfortunately, the highly expected face-off between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis did not occur.
The press conference was reportedly canceled after the interview and face-off between KSI and Tommy Fury, leaving fans in suspense as they eagerly await the October 14 showdown.
Many are left wondering how this recent incident will impact the boxing match that has been highly anticipated.
