Published Oct 3, 2023 | 2:58 PM EDT

In an age where online spats regularly spill into the boxing ring, the stakes have never been more unpredictable. Imagine a world where a seasoned MMA fighter dismisses a YouTube sensation. Now picture this happening on live television. Ariel Helwani, known for digging deep, sat down with Dillon Danis, only to stumble upon an unexpected goldmine.

As the clock ticks closer to the much-hyped Logan Paul showdown, the air gets thicker with tension and barbed words. Among the rehearsed punches and jibes, Danis dropped a few surprising remarks. While many anticipated typical pre-fight banter, few were prepared for what he divulged.

Opening the Pandora’s box of the fighting world, Dillon Danis shocked many when he opted out of a much-anticipated bout with KSI. Initially, fans were gearing up for what was billed as a clash of titans, with Danis taking on KSI. However, in an unexpected turn of events, Danis pivoted, setting his sights on Logan Paul instead.

But why this sudden change of heart? Speaking candidly, Danis revealed, “The KSI fight was never the fight, it was always against the Pauls.” Drawing a clear line, he further emphasized, “No one cared about the KSI fight, he’s nobody, he’s not even a fighter.” Such remarks not only minimize KSI’s standing in the boxing arena but also elevate the importance of his skirmishes with the Paul brothers.

Transitioning from one opponent to another isn’t just about changing fight strategies. For Danis, it’s about setting the record straight. “It was always that back and forth issue between me and the Pauls,” Danis asserted, highlighting a longstanding tiff that seems to transcend mere competitive spirit.

Dillon Danis opens up to Adin Ross

In a candid sit-down with YouTuber Adin Ross, MMA fighter Dillon Danis delved deep into the hacking allegations currently swirling around him. The revealing video, shed light on Danis’s perspective regarding the accusations. Despite Ross’s history of provoking combat sports influencers, including Danis, it was evident that prior disputes had been momentarily set aside for this earnest conversation.

Remarkably, the trio maintained a composed demeanor throughout, with Ross cheekily suggesting one’s fame is only validated when a SWAT team is involved. Expressing his angst, Danis lamented about people constantly attempting to serve him, affecting his personal life. Refuting the claims about the hacked Instagram account, Danis emphasized, “They made me look like a bad guy… I never hacked anybody’s stuff; those pictures are all easily found online.” Fellow guest Andrew Tate extended his solidarity, advising Danis to retaliate legally against Agdal’s lawsuit. The MMA champion, a tad disappointed, opined that his rival should recognize the promotional nature of their duel.
