Dillon Danis And Logan Paul come to blows at the press conference
Danis and Paul gave us another entertaining press conference. The two shared heaps of personal jabs at each other, and Paul even brought out Chris Hansen. ‘The Maverick’ accused Danis of being a predator and claimed Hansen would catch him on Saturday after the fight like his famous show, How to Catch a Predator.
After the press conference, Danis and Paul had to face off. However, Paul threw a prime bottle at Dillon Danis. This resulted in an extreme reaction from Danis, and he threw his microphone at Paul. Some reports suggest that Paul left the stage bloodied. Moreover, he never came out for the final face-off, which suggests it could have cut him. Danis then faced off with Mike Perry.

This incident involving bottles reminded us of when Conor McGregor did the same thing during his press conference with Nate Diaz. In one of the Irishman’s most popular moments in the sport, he picked up the water bottles and energy drink cans and flung them at Diaz and his entourage while they left.
Thus, Danis has lived up to his former teammate’s legacy. However, in this instance, it is clear that Logan Paul started the altercation. The YouTuber-turned-boxer threw the bottle when there was no need to. Video evidence shows clearly that Paul threw the bottle first. Therefore, it appears as though ‘The Maverick’ came out worse off from the altercation.
The real question now is whether Logan Paul will actually enter the ring on Saturday. There is no announcement as yet. Therefore, only time will tell.
What do you make of this incident? Do you think Logan Paul was at fault? Or was Dillon Danis wrong for retaliating?
