Logan Paul Vows to Fight Dillon Danis Despite Injury and Cyber Harassment
Logan Paul, the controversial YouTuber, has announced that he will still go ahead with his highly anticipated fight against Dillon Danis this Saturday, despite suffering an eye injury during a recent altercation. The incident occurred at a news conference where Danis reportedly hit Paul in the face with a microphone, leaving him bloodied and bruised.
In a defiant post on social media platform X, Paul declared, “Dillon can’t escape me. The fight is very much happening, the stakes just got higher.” However, earlier reports suggested that Paul’s trainer, Milton Lacroix, feared the injury could jeopardize the six-round bout.
Lacroix expressed his concern to USA TODAY Sports, saying, “Right now, we are going through hell. He got hit in the face. His eye’s cut. So right now I’m just bugging out right now, just trying to find somebody. There might not be a fight.”
However, Olajide Olatunji, the CEO of Misfits Boxing, the company promoting the match, assured reporters that Paul is “still ready to fight.” Olatunji, better known as KSI and participating in the co-main event, described Paul’s injury as a mere “bump.”
The feud between Paul and Danis has grown increasingly bitter in the lead-up to the fight. Danis had previously posted sexually explicit photos of Paul’s fiancé, Nina Agdal, online. Agdal recently filed a lawsuit accusing Danis of cyber harassment and bullying, alleging that he unlawfully shared nonconsensual, sexually explicit photographs of her without her consent.
The incident involving the microphone assault is just the latest in a series of confrontations between the two fighters. Despite the escalating tensions, both Paul and Danis remain determined to face each other in the ring.
As fight night approaches, spectators eagerly await the outcome of this intense rivalry. The controversial clash promises to be a high-stakes event, fuelled by a desire for revenge and the hope of victory.
