KSI and Tommy Fury square off in a boxing match at AO Arena in Manchester, England, on Oct. 14. However, the night’s co-main event has captured more attention, where Dillon Danis faces Logan Paul in a boxing match. The six-round featured bout in the Misfits X DAZN: The Prime Card held an open workout for the fighters ahead of the anticipated matchups.

Since the match was announced, Danis and Paul had engaged in an off-ring dispute. The consensus remains that Danis would pull off something gimmicky for the matchup. Exactly that happened! With assistance from UFC middleweight Phil Hawes, he did anything but boxing in the workout. Instead, he showed off his noted Brazilian jiu-jitsu expertise. He even jumped off from the top ropes! Hawes laid on the mat, and Danis executed a high-flying somersault. Topping it off, he even added a few wrestling holds and grapples.

KSI and Fury headline the six-round cruiserweight bout. Paul and Danis are slated to compete to solve their personal vendetta. Danis had targeted Paul and his fiancee, mocking, and subjecting them to online trolling. However, it led, in turn, to face charges of a restraining order. Paul recently revealed his intentions to bankrupt Danis in legal proceedings for harassing his fiance. But this does not stop Danis from messing around. And fans of the MMA world have taken notice.

The pro wrestling nod was very likely a cheap shot at Paul. Paul had recently signed with the WWE and has featured in several of their events. Barring the antics and trolling, Danis is dead-set to win. This is bound to be his first match since Bellator 222 in June 2019, when he submitted Max Humphrey. On the other hand, Paul competes in his first boxing bout and his exhibition match against Floyd Mayweather in June 2021.

Fans react to Bellator star Dillon Danis’ gimmicky non-boxing workout

Dillon Danis is gearing up for a six-round exhibition boxing tourney, featured bout in the Misfits X DAZN: The Prime Card, against YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan Paul. Since the match was announced in July, Danis took a provocative bait approach. He had also posted personal photos and videos of Paul’s fiancée, Nina Agdal. The fighters accordingly hosted and participated in an open workout ahead of their fight. As expected, Danis was up to his usual sleight and ruse!

Sparring with Phil Hawes, Danis chose anything but boxing in the open workout. Hawes had faced the slam to the mat several times, credited to Danis’ open jiu-jitsu demonstrations. He engaged in joint locks, chokes, and even an omoplata. He even jumped off the ropes instead of Paul’s recent wrestling endeavors as a supposed mockery. The antics instigated more than a few fan reactions, as well as that of the promotion itself.
