Logan Paul insists he doesn’t regret agreeing to his October 14 boxing match with antagonist Dillon Danis. But, after the converted MMA fighter sexually harassed Paul’s model fiancee on social media for the last few months, the former YouTube star says he’s starting to doubt that Danis will actually show up on fight night in Manchester.
‘Coin flip,’ Paul laughed on a Zoom call with reporters on Wednesday. ’50-50. My man wakes up one day, he’s throwing a temper tantrum, he’s being a crybaby. Wakes up the next day, he thinks he wants to fight. Who knows with this guy? Irrational, delusional, predatorial human being — I have no idea.’
Nina Agdal, Paul’s fiancee, was recently granted a restraining order against Danis, who is barred by a New Jersey court from posting sexually explicit images of the 30-year-old Danish model. The injunction is not a physical restraining order, Paul revealed Wednesday.
Agdal’s restraining order and subsequent lawsuit against Danis follow the Bellator star’s controversial decision to share an X-rated video of her online. Danis has also made frequent disturbing social media posts in which he’s speculated about Agdal’s sex life.
Despite the restraining order, Paul said Agdal will be in attendance on October 14 in Manchester, where his bout with Danis will be the co-main event before KSI’s match with Tommy Fury.

‘Nina is a warrior, dude,’ Paul continued. ‘Dillon Danis is a puddle. Dillon Danis on Twitter, on X, behind a keyboard, is much different than Dillon Danis in person. I saw it, I witnessed it face to face. Just two separate entities.
‘And that night, in particular, will be incredibly glorious. After all of this, when my man is face down, flat, knocked out, horizontal, what are you gonna do? What are you gonna say? This is the man you are – the guy on Twitter, who decided to harass a woman for 60 days.’
Paul, 28, is appearing in only his second boxing match after losing to KSI in 2019.
Danis, meanwhile, was supposed to fight KSI in 2022 but withdrew beforehand amid allegations that he was underprepared. That makes the October 14 bout his first pro boxing match, that is, if he actually goes through with it.

On Wednesday with reporters, Paul couldn’t help but vent his frustrations about Danis.
‘This guy does not deserve this [bout], but he does deserve to get laid the f*** out.
‘I happen to be a vehicle for attention, unfortunately, and the way I’m getting this particular round of attention is through a boxing match with this scumbag.’
Despite that, Paul says he does not have any regrets about fighting Danis, adding that the October 14 card is ‘going to be one of the most exciting boxing cards we’ve seen in a very long time.’
As for Logan’s relationship with younger brother, Jake, things seem to be improving after a recent war of words between the two over a perceived slight in a Netflix special. Jake has accused Logan of being condescending towards him and admitted that the two social media and combat sports stars nearly hit a ‘breaking point.’
Now, though, Logan insists that’s in the past.
‘Jake’s my brother. he’s always going to be my No. 1, no matter what,’ Logan said. ‘Relationship is great. I think he understands my position, although it’s not easy for him. I love the kid, he loves me, we’re each other’s best friends. Right now, we’re great.’
Logan was asked about potentially fighting Jake at some point, but downplayed the suggestion saying ‘we just don’t need to do that.’
As for his future in boxing, Logan said he had no specific plans. He’d like to win a title, but if that doesn’t happy, he still sees a future for himself in the wrestling ring.
‘WWE championship, for sure, after I knock out Dillon Danis or whoever shows up that night,’ he laughed.
Agdal, a former Victoria’s Secret model, alleged that an August 11 post shared by Danis in particular violated federal and state law.
Paul proposed to Agdal in July during the couple’s romantic getaway in Lake Como
The post, she claims, featured a sexually explicit image of her from a ‘romantic encounter’ she had with someone more than 10 years ago.
‘Danis posted the photograph — entirely uncensored — from his X (Twitter) account, without Plaintiff’s consent,’ Agdal wrote in the suit. ‘Later that day, Danis reposted the explicit photograph in order to maximize the number of views it would receive.’
The 31-year-old claimed that Danis agreed to remove the post only after the organizers of his fight with Paul, Misfits Boxing, threatened to cancel the showdown unless he deleted it.
Danis responded to the suit via X, informing his followers that he could not offer much comment at this time.
Agdal also said other posts have left her upset, including a video of her from more than six years ago, in which she talked about her ‘desire for intimacy during a period of celibacy.’

Agdal, who previously enjoyed a one-year relationship with Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio, said in the now-viral clip: ‘By the way, I’m very proud of myself because this is the longest I’ve gone without sex since I’ve started.’
Agdal claims the video was saved in her Snapchat archive, ‘suggesting Danis had hacked [her] personal account or had obtained the private video from someone who had done so.’
The case also states that although Agdal ‘had self-recorded that video, she never sent that private video recording to anyone.’
The Dane is seeking unspecified damages but no less than $150,000 per violation of the federal law prohibiting the sharing of intimate images.
