Current odds for the Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis fight

It’s not like either man in this fight has got what you would call a deep boxing resume. Paul has had one competitive fight four years ago and spends his days wrestling in the WWE, while Danis has never boxed competitively before.

It’s an interesting matchup, and perhaps surprising that Paul is so heavily favored with so many unknowns heading into the fight.

What is the beef between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis?

How much time have you got? There hasn’t so much been a war of words as a mostly one-sided verbal assault from Danis, centered around Logan Paul’s fiance Nina Agdal, which has only intensified on social media in the build up to the fight. He has been accused of posting digitally altered images in what has been described variously as “revenge porn” and “slut shaming”.

The latest developments include a lawsuit from Agdal seeking jail time for the MMA fighter, which in turn has led to speculation about who could replace Danis on saturday night if he is actually behind bars at the time of the fight.

The story took another twist at the pre-fight press conference, when Danis struck Paul with a microphone - seemingly jeopardizing the fight at the 11th hour.

It’s all been a bit surreal, but the whole circus is set to recede into the background on Saturday night when the two men finally step into the ring.

What to expect from Logan Paul?

Of the two, Paul is the vastly more experienced boxer having fought precisely… one professional bout. That was back in 2019 when he was defeated by KSI on a split decision. He has also been in the ring with one of the pound-for-pound all time greats, in an exhibition match against Floyd Mayweather in 2021.

Other than that, Paul has spent the last couple of years making semi-regular appearances in the WWE. As the naturally bigger and heavier man, we can expect him to try to overpower Danis and rely on his superior experience in the boxing ring.

What to expect from Dillon Danis?

Danis is coming in as a pretty significant underdog in the fight, having never actually boxed before, but he does at least have professional combat experience. He is two for two in his MMA career with Bellator and is a friend and training partner of Conor McGregor.

A specialist of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, both of Danis’ MMA victories have come by way of submission - which doesn’t exactly bode well for a slugfest with the larger and heavier Paul. Still, after a long Jiu-Jitsu amateur and professional career, Danis has been in the heat of battle in a ring a lot more times than Pau, which can’t be discounted.

The bout between Paul and Danis is just one side of the story. The other side of the co-main event features KSI taking on Tommy Fury - the latter of whom is the only career boxer of the four, and therefore a comfortable favorite at -375. The build up hasn’t been without its spiciness either, with KSI getting involved with John Fury during the press conference - the father of both Tommy and Tyson Fury.
