Dillon Danis is set to face Logan Paul in an exhibition boxing match on October 14th. He has spent much of the pre-fight build-up trolling his opponent and his fiancee on Twitter. While the two were finally face-to-face on Tuesday for the event's press conference, they did not have an opportunity to have a face-off. Instead, Paul had a face-off with Mike Perry, the backup fighter for the bout.
Danis took to Twitter after the press conference prematurely ended to dispute Paul's claims that he did not want to do the face-off. He also expressed his frustration with the way things were handled, stating:
"I genuinely love fighting and everything the game offers. I can't sleep; there are so many thoughts going through my head right now. I want to entertain more; I feel like I was silenced. Let's do another press conference with just me and Logan in the States; it was just starting to get good."
"Flying in the backup fighter, kicking me out of the press conference, no face-off, and cutting all my interviews—among other things—just keep killing the buzz I have for this fight. I'm tired of the disrespect. Maybe I'll just go silent and let DAZN realize what I bring to the table."
