Manchester’s AO Arena is gearing up for an exhilarating night of crossover boxing on Saturday, October 14, as YouTube sensation Logan Paul takes on MMA standout Dillon Danis. The fight is part of a double main event that also includes a clash between internet star KSI and boxer Tommy Fury, and it will be broadcasted live exclusively on DAZN.
After his exhibition bout with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather in 2021, Paul transitioned to the WWE, creating significant waves. However, the internet star is making a return to the boxing ring this fall. Commenting on his return, Paul stated, “After facing the greatest boxer of all time, I’m thrilled to step back into the ring for this mammoth Misfits show on October 14. Manchester better brace itself for an unforgettable night as The Prime Card promises a spectacle with KSI and me headlining the double main event.” Danis, on the other hand, made his intentions clear by saying, “I couldn’t care less about Logan’s WWE antics. In the boxing ring, it’s my territory, and on October 14, Logan's in for a beatdown.”
Mams Taylor and Kalle Sauerland, Co-Presidents of Misfits Boxing, both expressed their excitement for the historic event. Taylor mentioned the event as “history in the making,” while Sauerland called it the “biggest night ever in crossover boxing.” Echoing their sentiments, Joe Markowski, CEO of DAZN North America, emphasized the magnitude of having both KSI and Logan Paul back on a card, reminiscing their historic bout four years ago.
