Logan Paul to fight Conor McGregor teammate Dillon Danis in boxing comeback

YouTube star Paul hasn’t fought since his 2021 exhibition with Floyd Mayweather, and will face Bellator fighter and McGregor teammate Danis in his return to the AO Arena in Manchester

Logan Paul will return to the boxing ring on October 14 as a co-headliner to KSI vs Tommy Fury when he faces Dillon Danis in Manchester.

The YouTube star hasn’t fought since his 2021 battle with Floyd Mayweather, but has confirmed this evening that he will return to the AO Arena where his boxing career began to face Bellator MMA fighter Danis. Neither man has won a professional boxing fight, with the New Jersey native making his ring debut after four years out of the MMA cage.

Paul will be heavily favoured to get the win, with Misfits likely to have a replacement lined up in case of a pullout from Danis, who was supposed to fight KSI in January. The jiu-jitsu black belt is a close friend and teammate of Conor McGregor’s and has been seen training with the Irishman in recent footage, as well as former UFC middleweight champion Alex Pereira.

“October 14 I return to boxing after fighting Floyd Mayweather over 2 years ago,” Paul wrote in a social media post announcing the bout today, before declaring that he believes his rival will not make it to the fight. “I doubt this little parasite will show up but if he does I’m going to erase him from existence.”
