Logan Paul makes $1 million bet to Conor McGregor after saying Dillon Danis beats him
The social media celebrity and businessman Logan Paul is confident he will defeat Conor McGregor’s friend in their upcoming boxing match.
After Jake Paul was one of the main focuses in combat sports recently with his boxing fight against UFC legend Nate Diaz, it seems it’s turn for his older brother Logan to be in the fighting spotlight.
The social media celebrity, WWE star, and businessman Logan Paul is set to fight Conor McGregor’s grappling partner and friend Dillon Danis in a boxing match on October 14th in Manchester.
The fight will co-headline KSI vs. Tommy Fury, and it will be Paul’s return to the boxing ring after an exhibition bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr. on June 2021. The fight went the full eight-round distance, and no winner was announced.
McGregor, who is getting ready to face Michael Chandler later this year, believes Danis will easily defeat Paul despite Denis’ long inactivity.
Paul offers McGregor a millionaire bet
However, Paul, who already knows what it feels like to be in the ring, thinks Danis is no match for him in a boxing bout.
Despite losing in his boxing debut to Youtube star and rapper KSI via split decision, Paul offered a solid performance against Mayweather, although, as expected, he ended up being outboxed.
Against Denis, Paul will be the bigger and more athletic fighter and will probably be boosted by his brother Jake’s performances to try to get the win.
“You guarantee a win? I’ll bet you $1,000,000 I beat Dildo Danis on October 14 [Conor McGregor],” Paul said in a tweet accompanied by a video message.
Danis’ last fight took place at Bellator 222 when he defeated Max Humphrey in 2019. The American MMA artist, who withdrew on short notice for a scheduled clash with KSI, has mostly been in the spotlight due to legal issues and controversies.
