Dillon Danis has been feuding online with the Paul brothers for a while now. The constant jabs and snide remarks always hint at a confrontation that is finally coming to fruition. Fans have some reservations when it comes to Danis’ boxing history. However, what happened at a recent press conference might have gained the grappler some fans.

The long-standing rivalry is marked by their explicit remarks and no-holds-barred demeanor while addressing each other. Dillon Danis has been taking to social media to spark conversation. Whether it is under the Paul brothers’ social media posts or on his own Twitter, Danis has never shied away from throwing shots at the YouTuber siblings. Logan also isn’t new to the limelight. Having made a career on social media, the entertainer is no stranger to confrontation.

Dillon Danis has been associated with Conor McGregor who is arguably, the champion when it comes to stage presence. But their ties extend beyond that. ‘El Jefe’ has been Conor’s friend and grappling partner as well. The Irishman has backed up Dillon on various occasions before. This association is one that always comes under scrutiny on any public platform. Things weren’t any different this time. Logan Paul referenced his million-dollar deal for Conor during the press conference. He asked, “Where’s coach McGregor and why wouldn’t he take my bet?”.

‘El Jefe’ replied, “Don’t worry he’ll be here and he’ll smack you”. After defending his coach, Danis was pressed again by ‘The Maverick’. Logan continued, “Why won’t he take my million-dollar bet?”. The rebuttal to this question won over the crowd immediately. In the clip that showcases the crowning achievement of this exchange, Danis fired back, “Why won’t you pay back to people from CryptoZoo?”. The answer immediately had the crowd vocalizing. It was an impressively quick response from ‘El Jefe’ referencing the NFT-based game ‘CryptoZoo’ that was supported and advertised by Logan Paul. The game came under heavy scrutiny and criticism for its design as well as lack of transparency, especially since it treads the tricky space of cryptocurrency. Presently, the game’s official website says that the game is being revamped and upgraded and hence unplayable for the time being.

Conor McGregor’s elusiveness and comeback plans

Logan and Jake Paul have been trying to get Conor McGregor to agree to the million-dollar bout for a while now, but to no avail. In a recent interview, Conor snapped, calling out KSI even. The remark prompted the British YouTuber to joke about how he managed to do what Jake Paul couldn’t; get the ‘Notorious’s attention. ‘Notorious’, who is recovering from an injury and facing strict USADA testing, is scheduled to make a comeback later this year. His bout against Michael Chandler will mark the titan’s entry into the fight scene after a considerable gap.
