Dillon Danis has seemingly bowed out of his highly anticipated boxing match with Logan Paul.
The BJJ specialist has been embroiled in controversy from the moment the matchup was first announced as he began targeting Paul’s fiancee, swimsuit model Nina Agdal, on social media. What started off as a clever way to build a rivalry and promote his first fight in more than four years has seemingly backfired with Danis now facing state and federal charges as part of a lawsuit brought on by Agdal.
Danis has been going hard at Agdal online, posting NSFW photos and trolling her over a series of relationships from her past. However, Danis appeared to take things too far when he shared a sexually explicit photo of the Dane reportedly taken during a “romantic encounter” more than a decade ago. As a result, Agdal is suing Danis for potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars.
According to Logan Paul, that could be just the tip of the iceberg.
“There are more counts coming. It’s heavy dude,” Paul said during an appearance on his brother’s BS w/ Jake Paul podcast. “I’ll be honest, it’s a f*cking .50 caliber adamantium bullet to the dome. He’s f*cked. We’re about to catch a predator on October 14.”
Frustrated by Paul’s comments and the situation altogether, Dillon Danis seemingly pulled out of their October 14th clash in response.
“Logan bragging about lawsuits again he isn’t built for the fight game, this pussy doesn’t deserve me I’m out,” Danis wrote on X in response to the video clip.

BKFC star ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry added some fuel to the fire when he posted a brief video clip suggesting that he was officially in.
Logan Paul Claps Back at Dillon Danis
Logan Paul responded to Danis’ apparent withdrawal, calling the New Jersey native’s bluff.
“Don’t let Dillon fool you… he knows that pulling out AGAIN would guarantee no fighter, fight organization, or legit brand will ever work with him because he’s an unreliable liar,” Paul wrote. Not to mention the embarrassment of pussying out against me. I’m going to break this predator physically, mentally, spiritually, and financially. This isn’t about just winning the fight; I’m going to destroy his entire life. But truthfully, idgaf who shows up on October 14 — the man across from me will be knocked out cold.”
Danis quickly snapped back, writing:
“Logan is so delusional he thinks this makes him look good. It’s actually crazy. Suing someone isn’t a real fighter move. It’s a cowardly move. Step down from your moral high ground. People still remember you using a suicide victim for financial gain and clout. Also, be a man and turn on your replies pussy.”

At this point, it looks like Dillon Danis still intends to show up based on his follow-up posts on X, but fight fans will undoubtedly remain skeptical until they see him actually step inside the ring later this month.
UPDATE:
Adding more excitement to the situation was Mike Perry, the designated backup for the contest, who shared a video stating,
“It’s official guys. I’m in.”
