‘Maverick’ takes aim yet again! Logan Paul, the WWE star turned boxer, is no stranger to the spotlight and its occasional controversies. His upcoming Oct. 14th boxing clash with UFC star Conor McGregor‘s teammate Dillon Danis has generated considerable hype. But it’s not just the fight that’s making headlines! It’s the pre-match war of words – and in this case, some rather questionable actions, that’s caught everyone’s attention.

Dillon Danis, known for his antics on social media, took his pre-fight taunts to a new level. He started by posting pictures of Logan Paul’s fiancee, supermodel Nina Agdal, with her former partners, including Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio and musician Joe Jonas. The move was bold – even by the standards of pre-fight trash talk. But the Bellator welterweight didn’t stop there! He ventured into NSFW territory by sharing explicit memes featuring the model. It’s exactly the kind of behavior that often sparks controversy and headlines in combat sports – but this time, it was met with a surprising reaction from Logan Paul.

In a recent interview with DAZN Boxing, Logan Paul couldn’t hold back his feelings about Danis’ actions. He specifically called out one promotional stunt where Danis seemed to edit a graphic suggesting he was a guest on Paul’s podcast, ‘Impaulsive.’ The caption accompanying the edited image read: “Give the people what they want.”

‘Maverick’ didn’t mince words when he called out Danis for his actions. He accused Danis of desperately seeking his attention and trying to be him. The WWE superstar declared:

 

“Dillon wants my attention so badly. He wants to be me so badly! He’s photoshopping pictures of my fiance with him – cause he reeks of jealousy. But I just don’t feel like giving this scumbag a platform – especially not my platform.”

Logan believes that Danis is so envious that he’s even resorting to photoshopping pictures of Logan’s fiancée, Nina Agdal, with himself. Moreover, he openly expressed his regret for giving Danis the platform to fight him, as it has only fueled his popularity, which he believes Danis doesn’t deserve. According to claims by Danis, he has already pulled in over 2 Billion views on X – thanks to his over-the-top jibes. But does ‘Maverick’ really regret drawing the spotlight on Dillon Danis? Let’s hear it from the man himself.

Logan Paul makes a startling confession about Dillon Danis

Arguing his stance, Logan Paul further added, “I even regret putting him in that position to fight me – cause he’s getting so much attention. He doesn’t deserve any of it – cause he’s a piece of shit! So, yeah, I’ll never have him on Impaulsive ever!” But that’s not all – said Paul as the YouTuber also blasted the Bellator welterweight for spreading rumors and lies.

The WWE star-turned-boxer revealed, “We never had a conversation about him coming on Impaulsive. I would never allow him on Impaulsive. He doesn’t even have my number! Dillon’s a fucking liar!”
