Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis LIVE: Bitter grudge match is UNDERWAY in Manchester after months of furious build-up

The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu star hardly threw any punches in the first round, instead opting to just block Paul’s punches. It seems like he’s trying to tire him out – but Paul appears to be in good shape.

There are scores of security guards separating the pair before the fight actually gets underway. And Paul has just mouthed “I forgive you” to Danis. This is clearly an emotionally charged fight – and the crowd is loving it.

The crowd certainly seemd to be on Danis’ side as he walked out, with the Manchester crowd dancing along to the hit ‘Freed from Desire.’

With 50 Cent’s ‘Many Men’ blaring from the speakers, Paul makes his way to the ring in a pink robe. A stirring entrance.

Fighting reporter Ariel Helwani has backed underdog Danis to win the fight, as he thinks there will be too much pressure on Paul, and that the social media star will struggle for composure against Danis. Time will tell if he’s right.

Lots of stars are at Manchester Arena to watch Paul-Danis (and of course KSI-Fury), and that includes Manchester’s own Aitch. The rapper spoke to DAZN before the fight and was his usually funny self.

The last fight before Paul and Danis is over, as Slim has defeated Salt Papi. It can’t be much longer now before Paul and Danis are in the ring.

The rapper has been known to bet massive amount on sporting events – including $700k on the Chiefs to win the last Super Bowl (which was correct). Now, he’s risked $850k of his own money on Paul beating Danis. Read more:

Danis is getting wrapped up as he readies for tonight’s fight in Manchester. Will all of his talk be backed up?

Of course, Tommy Fury and KSI will face off after Paul and Danis, and the most successful Fury boxer is in the house to watch his younger half-brother. He’ll fight Francis Ngannou on October 28.

Speaking to Ariel Helwani before the fight, Paul said he ‘had a moment of zen’ last night and now forgives Danis for the highly personal trash-talk in recent months.

We’ve told you already about the violence that kicked off at the weigh-in this week, but have a look for yourselves: Paul and Danis both threw a mic at each other, with Paul’s face bloodied in the incident. If you have any doubts that these two are pretending for the cameras, this video will probably change your mind.

The loudmouth fighter has been drumming up anticipation for this fight, and the day is finally here. Only time will tell if he’s this calm and composed when the matchup is over.

We’re not far out from Paul-Danis now, and the former has posted a loved-up photo with fiancee Nina Agdal before the fight. Of course, Danis has also posted about Agdal quite a bit online – so much so that she got a restraining order against him!

Dillon Danis’s trolling of Logan Paul‘s fiancee, Nina Agdal, has only provided his rival with extra ammunition, a source previously revealed to DailyMail.com.

Paul is heading into the ring tonight looking to avenge the disgusting attacks on his fiancee.

‘With Dillon’s constant trolling, Logan’s attitude has only changed to hating Dillon even more,’ a source close to Paul told DailyMail.com.

‘He’d love to see him arrested and be held accountable for all the trolling. Logan wants to get in the ring right now and make Dillon’s face have a similar look to ground beef. He literally hates him.

‘Logan is training as hard as possible, and in his mind and his team’s mind, he must win. There is no other option that can happen.

‘If Logan loses this fight, it will be the biggest embarrassment for him professionally ever and he will never be able to forgive himself or talk himself out of it. He wants to make Nina proud and avenge all that she has been put through. Knocking out Dillon is what needs to happen, anything else would not be a good look.’

Logan Paul has arrived with fiancee Nine Agdal as he prepares to fave Dillon Danis and avenge the personal attacks the model has faced from his rival.

Dillon Danis was getting physical before the bout even begun when he hit Logan Paul with a microphone at their final press conference Thursday.

Danis was furious with some comments Paul had made about an alleged daughter of his.

The pair engaged in a verbal row before things turned physical. Danis launched at Paul and hit the 28-year-old in the face with his microphone – connecting cleanly on Paul’s forehead.

Dillon Danis has dominated the headlines – and made most of them himself – in the buildup to his bout with Logan Paul and not for the right reasons.

Despite both fighters seeking the advantage in the mind games stakes over one another, it was Danis who took their feud to an entirely different and toxic level.

Paul’s fiancee, model Nina Agdal, has been caught in the firing line as Danis reuglarly used her to target his oponent.

Day by day, he began to post half-naked pictures of Agdal, and even shared a private video in which she discussed her sexual cravings.
