Dillon Danis could not wait until fight night to get his hands on Logan Paul.

The two are scheduled for a boxing match in England on Saturday, and at a press conference on Thursday Paul threw something at Danis, who proceeded to go berserk and punch Paul in the face with a microphone.

Paul’s trainer, Milton Lacroix, told USA Today that the fight could now be in jeopardy.

“Right now, we going through hell,” Lacroix said.

“He got hit in the face. His eye’s cut. So right now I’m just bugging out right now, just trying to find somebody. There might not be a fight.”

Personal animosity and even pre-fight physicality have long been tools deployed by fighters to promote their events, but Danis, an MMA fighter in Bellator, has been taking things particularly far with Paul for months.

Last month, Paul’s fiancee, model Nina Agdal, sued Danis and filed for a restraining order over what she said were chronic “despicable” posts about her on social media.

She claimed in the suit that Danis had posted about her more than 250 times and caused “humiliation, emotional distress, and reputational harm.”

One post, published in August, was a sexually explicit photo that Agdal said came from a romantic encounter more than a decade ago.

“Danis posted the photograph — entirely uncensored — from his X (Twitter) account, without Plaintiff’s consent,” Agdal wrote in the lawsuit, as covered by the Daily Mail. “Later that day, Danis reposted the explicit photograph in order to maximize the number of views it would receive.”

Nevertheless, Paul has said that Agdal would attend the fight.

“Nina is a warrior, dude,” Paul said in September. “Dillon Danis is a puddle. Dillon Danis on Twitter, on X, behind a keyboard, is much different than Dillon Danis in person. I saw it, I witnessed it face to face. Just two separate entities.”

If the fight indeed goes on, it is slated to take place at the AO Arena in Manchester and will be available on pay-per-view on ESPN+.
