The scuffle between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis at Thursday’s pre-fight press conference left one of the competitors bleeding.
Danis cut Paul on the right side of his face after throwing a microphone at him right before they were about to face off to cap off their back and forth at the Misfits Boxing: The PRIME Card pre-fight presser. Danis hit Paul on the face, as security was already separating the two in efforts to deescalate the situation. The faceoff between Paul and Danis was cancelled after that.
The original video didn’t show the damage done by Danis, but a new angle surfaced where the WWE Superstar was clearly bleeding.

Paul and Danis are scheduled to fight Saturday at AO Arena in Manchester, England in the co-main event of Misfits Boxing: The PRIME Card. The bout is scheduled for six three-minute rounds and will be contested at 195 pounds.
Although the extent of the damage on Paul’s face is unkown, the YouTube star took to X to say that the fight was still on.
“Dillon can’t escape me,” Paul wrote on X. “The fight is very much happening, the stakes just got higher.”

The promotor of Misfits Boxing, Mams Taylor, also confirmed the fight is still on.
“As far as I know, it is,” Taylor told The Schmo. “I think he’s ok. I don’t think he needs stitches. I don’t think it was that bad.”
