Logan Paul quashed all speculations about the fight against Dillon Danis being called off.
During the Misfits Boxing pre-fight press conference on Thursday, the tension between the two fighters boiled over into a captivating confrontation. 'The Maverick' stunned everyone by unexpectedly tossing what appeared to be a water bottle in Danis' direction.
Just as security personnel were about to step in and break up the commotion, 'El Jefe' struck back, using the microphone as an improvised weapon. He landed a forceful blow to Paul's face, leaving him with a cut around his left eye.

However, Logan Paul recently took to X (formerly Twitter) and reaffirmed his commitment to face Dillon Danis in the upcoming bout with back-to-back posts:
"This Saturday we catching a Predator."
He added:
"Dillon can’t escape me. The fight is very much happening, the stakes just got higher 😈."
