Dillon Danis and Logan Paul are set to face each other in a boxing match this Saturday. The pair's bout will co-headline the MF & DAZN: X Series 10 – The Prime Card on October 14, which will be main-evented by a clash between undefeated influencer boxing stars KSI and Tommy Fury.
Since the announcement of their bout, Danis and Paul have been at each other's throats, with the former Bellator fighter, especially, targeting his opponent's personal life. In response, Logan Paul shared a brief clip of a face-to-face sitdown on X/Twitter, which seemingly exposed Danis for having a stutter.
Now, however, Dillon Danis has taken to X/Twitter to dispute the claims of Logan Paul's post. He has claimed that the video was edited to make him look as bad as possible. He advised fans to wait for the release of the full video, in which he says he roasted Paul. His exact words were as follows:

"This was completely edited by him to look this way. Just wait until the full thing comes out; classic Logan Paul. I can't wait for everyone to see how badly I roast him."
However, Danis' conduct in the leadup to his bout with Paul has drawn significant controversy, as he has repeatedly harassed his foe's fiancé, Nina Agdal, even posting a sexually explicit image alleged to be of her. This led to a lawsuit being filed against him by Agdal, including a restraining order, which was temporarily granted.
While there were initial fears that his legal battle with Agdal would negatively impact his bout with Paul, it has not led to a cancellation.
Has Dillon Danis trained with Conor McGregor to prepare for Logan Paul?
Dillon Danis is a grappler by trade, having once been a high-potential Brazilian jiu-jitsu prospect. Meanwhile, Conor McGregor was, at one point, one of the most widely-praised strikers in MMA. Given that both men are not only teammates but close friends as well, fans expected them to train together ahead of Danis' bout.
However, McGregor has revealed that he hasn't, in fact, trained Danis to prepare him for a bout with Logan Paul. Instead, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt has trained with former two-division Glory kickboxing champion and former UFC middleweight champion Alex Pereira.
