Dillon Danis was slated to face KSI previously, will make his boxing debut against Logan Paul

Despite his achievements in the field of BJJ, as well as MMA, Danis' biggest claim to fame is arguably his personality. Infuriating to some, Danis has constantly called out some of MMA's best, and has challenged big names to a fight.

He was slated to face YouTuber-Boxer KSI as part of his boxing debut, but he withdrew, forcing KSI to face another opponent in his place. Now, it looks like Danis has been granted another shot at making his boxing debut against Logan Paul.

He announced the fight on Twitter, saying:

"October 14th, I'll be gracing the boxing ring for my debut. Gotta show up because the Paul sisters have a phobia when it comes to actual combat. Main Event live on PPV on @DAZNBoxing"

While Danis' boxing credentials are unclear, he has trained with some of the best strikers in MMA, namely Conor McGregor and Alex Pereira. As a result, he is sure to have trained his boxing game, and fans can expect the bout against Logan Paul to be competitive.
