What happened in Dillon Danis’s last fight?
Danis and Logan Paul squared off against each other on October 14 in a six-round boxing match. The much-awaited match-up generated a lot of attention after Danis verbally attacked Paul’s fiancee, Nina Agdal, as a promotion tactic. Danis entered the fight after four and a half years of layoff and looked out of sorts.
Logan dominated the fight and eventually won it after ‘ El Jefe’ was disqualified for trying a guillotine. The fight ended with a massive brawl, a group of supporters going against each other. Now Danis has called out Perry, who is fresh from a win on Saturday against Eddie Alvarez, extending his BKFC record to 4-0.
