Logan Paul regrets ever entertaining the idea of boxing Dillon Danis.
The bout eventually ended up happening in the co-main event of The Prime Card in October 2023, when Paul defeated Danis via disqualification in one of the more forgettable boxing matches in recent memory.
On Paul’s reality show Paul American, the current WWE star discussed the build to the boxing match, and Danis using social media to take shots at Paul’s fiancée Nina Agdal.
“I was looking for my next big fight and there was this guy that I thought could sell pay-per-views and so I chose him as my dance partner, and that ended up being the worst mistake of my life,” Paul said.
“And by the way, if I didn’t say all of this here, and we never talk about him again, he dies. The only people giving that dude life is us. But, we give him life just to take it away, and I’m OK with that. …
“This guy had no interest in actually fighting me, a fellow man, that he signed up to fight. He just signed up to pick a fight with my girl.”
Paul claims that Danis photoshopped and posted “over 400 photos” of Agdal, which got a lot of attention towards the fight, and a lot of heat thrown in Agdal’s direction.
“It was the most traumatic experience of my life,” Agdal said. “Getting attacked by hundreds and thousands of people every single day, and wanting to do things I don’t even want to talk about to myself to try and escape the pain.”
Paul is gearing up for WrestleMania 41 where he faces longtime veteran AJ Styles this weekend in Las Vegas.
Ahead of his return to the squared circle, the new dad of a baby girl admitted he’s a bit nervous after experiencing what Agdal went through.
“It really took a piece of her soul, dude,” Paul said. “It really f*cked with her a lot.”
