Every punch counts and every training choice is scrutinized. The world of combat sports spares none. Dillon Danis, known for his jiu-jitsu prowess, is under the magnifying glass. Set to face Logan Paul in a boxing match, he’s made an unexpected move. He’s training with Antonina Shevchenko. Yes, you read that right. Antonina isn’t just any MMA fighter; she’s the sister of the dominating UFC flyweight champion, Valentina Shevchenko.

Why would a jiu-jitsu star preparing for a boxing match train with an MMA fighter? Is Dillon looking for a unique edge, or is it a tactic to bewilder his critics and opponents? Boxing and MMA: apples and oranges, some might say. But Dillon seems to be stirring his fruit salad with an odd spoon. The choice is baffling to many, especially ahead of such a high-profile match. The question on everyone’s lips: What is Dillon Danis’ game plan?

Is Dillon Danis setting up for triumph or trouble?

Dillon Danis, while preparing for his impending bout with Logan Paul, has raised eyebrows with his choice of training partners. First, he was seen training with former UFC middleweight champion Alex Pereira, a move many deemed strategic. Pereira, known for his striking prowess, seemed a logical partner for Dillon to sharpen his boxing skills. However, the choice of Antonina Shevchenko, a noted MMA fighter, as another training partner left fans both puzzled and intrigued. The reactions from the fans were varied and telling. One fan subtly warned Dillon, implying that a loss to Logan after such training choices would be further a monumental embarrassment.

On the other hand, another fan proposed a straightforward idea: Why not train with actual boxers for a boxing match?
