Logan Paul will make his return to boxing in October after more than two years away from the sport.
Paul, a YouTube star who has built a name for himself in boxing and wrestling, will face Bellator’s Dillon Danis on Oct. 14 in Manchester, England. The 28-year-old has not competed in a boxing contest since June 2021 when he faced off against Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition match.
Paul’s only professional boxing competition took place in ’19 in a bout against KSI that ended in a split decision loss. Now, in October, Paul will face Danis, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu champion and the training partner for UFC star Conor McGregor.
Danis, who will enter his first boxing match against Paul, participated in MMA in Bellator in ’18 and ’19. During that time, the 29-year-old registered two wins.

The Paul-Danis bout will be part of a double main event promoted by Misfits, a United Kingdom boxing promoter.
In the second fight of the main attraction, KSI will face Tommy Fury, who recently defeated Paul’s brother, Jake, by decision in a February fight.
