Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis Tips: Preview, Predictions & Boxing Betting Odds
Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis Predictions:
Headlining the undercard of KSI vs Tommy Fury is none other than KSI’s Prime business partner and brother of Fury’s last opponent Jake Paul, Logan Paul.
Logan returns to the ring for the first time since 2021, where he faced Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition fight in Florida.
Paul is set to face Dillon Danis, who, despite his superior experience in combat sports, is the big outsider on boxing betting sites to win this bout.
Danis is a mixed martial artist by trade, but like a lot of recent MMA stars, has realised there is a lot of money to be made in a crossover fights and subsequently will make his boxing debut against Paul on Saturday evening.
Logan Paul's sole professional bout resulted in a split decision loss to his one-time foe turned friend, KSI, which ignited the current trend of celebrities stepping into the boxing ring.
Despite his defeat in his only previous professional fight, it's evident that Paul possesses natural talent. He showcased his abilities when he managed to go the distance with arguably the greatest boxer of all time, Floyd Mayweather.
MMA star Danis has only fought twice in his respective sport before transitioning to boxing. Given the existing evidence of Paul's skill and experience, Danis assumes the role of the underdog in this matchup.
Paul Packs A Punch
In his bout with KSI, it became clear that Logan is highly skilled in the ring. The 28-year-old even successfully landed a few shots on the legendary Mayweather, shots that the 46-year-old would have likely preferred to evade.
Paul boasts an extensive amateur wrestling career, which may explain his effortless transition into the WWE. Therefore, his natural strength will likely not be a concern when engaging in close combat with Danis.
Considering his opponent's lack of prior ring experience, it is crucial for Logan to utilise his modest experience and assert himself in this bout against his fellow American.
Much of Paul's anticipated dominance could stem from his two-inch height advantage, which will be difficult for Danis and is a contributing factor as to why betting apps have him at a price of 4/1.
There has been a number of MMA fighters that have made the jump over to boxing in recent times. The likes of Tyron Woodley, Ben Askren, Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz made unsuccessful crossover attempts, all falling victim to Logan’s brother Jake in the process.
If Logan follows the trend of his brother, he should have no trouble disposing of Danis before the six rounds are up.
It has been brought to the public’s attention that Dillon Danis is a volatile character in more ways than one, with the star almost pulling the plug on the bout just 24 hours before the fight was scheduled to take place.
With disqualification included in favour of Paul, it would be no surprise if Danis reverts back to his MMA style and throws an illegal move in an attempt to gain social traction if he feels he cannot outbox his opponent.

Danis Will Be Lucky To Survive The Early Rounds
Considering the expectation is that Paul will claim victory in this bout without relying on the judges' scorecards, the next question is when he will conclude the fight.
With limited information available about both fighters due to their relatively new boxing careers, it's evident that Paul is a determined fighter, having gone the distance in all three of his fights to date.
On the other hand, Danis is a relative unknown in the realm of boxing, but judging from past crossover fights, we anticipate that Paul will be capable of dictating the outcome.
That said, Danis comes from a fighting background and is likely to endure substantial punishment before relenting in his pursuit of victory. We expect the boxing newcomer to survive the initial couple of rounds, regardless of the challenges Paul presents.
Having a background in a sport like MMA demonstrates that Danis possesses mental fortitude. However, the question remains whether he can withstand a powerful punch in a boxing ring, creating an element of uncertainty in this contest.
Nevertheless, betting sites offer odds of 14/5 in favour of Paul securing a win in either the third or fourth round.
This outcome seems most probable, given the anticipation of an early onslaught and drawing upon the knowledge of recent crossover fights.
