Logan Paul is set to make his return for the first time since 2021 against his arch-nemesis, Dillon Danis. The two have been at loggerheads for a substantial amount of time. Back in the summer of 2022, their fight was close to being made official. However, Paul suffered a devastating injury during one of his WWE stunts and kept the bout in abeyance. In the meantime, Danis moved on to face Paul’s prior opponent, KSI. However, just over a week from their bout, Danis pulled out from the contest.

The maverick took cognizance of the same and added a pull-out clause in their agreement. In essence, if Danis pulls out of this fight without a genuine reason then he will be liable to pay $100,000. In addition, Paul has already booked a replacement fighter in case Danis pulls out. Intriguingly, his backup fighter shares history with his younger brother, Jake Paul. Back in 2022, the ‘Problem child,’ was set to face Hasim Rahman Jr., son of legendary boxer Rahman.
However, their bout fell through after a disagreement over the weight class. Moreover, in a recent turn of events, the older Paul brother has made Rahman Jr. his backup fighter. Witnessing this, the boxing world ignited distinct opinions and reactions. So without further ado, let’s unwrap some fan reactions.

The boxing world is more inclined to see Logan Paul face Hasim Rahman Jr instead of Dillon Danis
Danis is a traditional MMA fighter and not known for his boxing acumen. Rahman Jr on the contrary, is a professional boxer with multiple victories under his belt. Considering the same, the fans are more keen to see Paul face Rahman Jr instead of Danis. Here are a few fan reactions reflecting upon the same:
A fan named The Fight Buzz would want Danis to be out of this contest in an ideal world and have Paul face Rahman Jr.
Why wouldn't they have @_HasimRahmanJr instead of Danis anyway? Far better challenge and test. Let Danis disappear into irrelevancy
