WWE's Logan Paul Offers Conor McGregor $1M Bet Over Dillon Danis Boxing Fight
August 14, 2023
The stakes may have raised significantly for the upcoming Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis boxing match.
On Monday, Paul issued a challenge to Conor McGregor on social media (warning: NSFW language) to put $1,000,000 on the line.
The ex-UFC featherweight and lightweight champion is training Danis, and the trash talk has already begun.
"Dillon will win for sure," McGregor told Matchroom Boxing (h/t Jelani Scott of SI.com). "They're already backtracking right now. They woke an animal. [I've known] Dillon years and I've trained with him many times. I'm guiding him, I'm gonna train him for this and I guarantee a win."
Paul and Danis, a Bellator MMA welterweight, will square off on Oct. 14 in Manchester, England.
The 28-year-old Paul has recently some entertaining and high-flying appearances for WWE, but he is now turning his attention back to boxing. Paul most recently fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a non-scored, eight-round exhibition match in June 2021. He also faced British YouTuber KSI in a professional match in Nov. 2019, losing via split decision in a six-round fight.
Danis, 29, had one match apiece in Bellator in 2018 and 2019, winning both via first-round submission.
