Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis announced for Misfits Boxing event on Oct. 14

Dillon Danis will once again attempt to return to combat sports competition later this year, this time for a boxing mach with Logan Paul.

Misfits Boxing announced on Tuesday that Danis (0-0) will step into the ring with Paul (0-1) on “The PRIME Card,” which is set to take place Oct. 14 at AO Arena in Manchester, England and streams on DAZN pay-per-view (via Instagram):

October 14th, I’ll be gracing the boxing ring for my debut. Gotta show up because the Paul sisters have a phobia when it comes to actual combat.

Main Event live on PPV on @daznboxing

OCTOBER 14 I return to boxing after fighting Floyd Mayweather over 2 years ago.

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!

According to a person with knowledge of the situation, who spoke to MMA Junkie on the condition of anonymity, Paul vs. Danis will be scheduled for six, three-minute rounds and be contested at 195 pounds.

Paul, 28, has not competed in a professional boxing match since he fought and lost to KSI in November 2019. The bout was a rematch of an August 2018 amateur fight which ended in a draw. In June 2021, Paul competed in an exhibition bout against Floyd Mayweather and went all eight rounds in a non-scored bout.

Danis, 29, has not fought since June 2019, when he defeated Max Humphrey by first-round submission at Bellator 222. He’s since been dealing with injuries and an extended layoff. Danis was scheduled to fight KSI earlier this year, but withdrew from the contest on fight week.

Paul will share the card with his PRIME partner KSI, who is scheduled to face Tommy Fury.
