Logan Paul‘s days of boxing aren’t over.
Paul Books Return
Two years after facing Floyd Mayweather in a spectacle for the ages, the social media star is putting on the gloves once again. Paul is set to take on Conor McGregor’s teammate and grappling ace Dillon Danis in his comeback fight. The matchup has been announced to take place on Oct. 14 in Manchester, England.
Along with Paul vs. Danis, Tommy Fury vs. KSI will also be on ‘The Prime Card’. The event will be live on DAZN pay-per-view.
While it’s been some time since we’ve seen Paul in the ring, the elder Paul brother has kept busy with his other ventures. Since fighting Floyd Mayweather to a decision in 2021, Paul has signed with the WWE and even co-founded his own drink company, ‘Prime’ with KSI.
There’s been much success in those areas, but Paul still has yet to win inside the boxing ring. He’ll look to change that when he meets Danis this fall.
On the other hand, Danis will be making his boxing debut against Paul. The two-time MMA fighter hasn’t competed since 2019 where he scored a quick submission win at Bellator 222.
Paul Has His Doubts
‘El Jefe’ was actually booked to face Paul’s business partner KSI earlier this year in London, England but withdrew from the bout. Paul has some concerns about whether or not Danis will make it to their contest.
“OCTOBER 14 I return to boxing after fighting Floyd Mayweather over 2 years ago,” Paul wrote on X. “I doubt this little parasite will show up but if he does I’m going to erase him from existence. The PRIME Card — Oct 14 in Manchester, live on DAZN PPV!”

Danis would also put out his first statement on the matchup.
“October 14th, I’ll be gracing the boxing ring for my debut,” Danis wrote on Instagram. “Gotta show up because the Paul sisters have a phobia when it comes to actual combat.”
Will Dillon Danis make it to the dance on Oct. 14?
