PUERTO RICO: The eagerly awaited exhibition boxing match between Dillon Danis and Logan Paul, scheduled for October 14, has generated a lot of buzz in the run-up to the event.
Dillon Danis, who is known for his trolling on Twitter, has spared no expenses in making fun of his opponent and even targeted Paul's fiancee. But during the recent press conference, where fans were expecting an intense face-off, things took an unexpected turn.
Surprisingly, Dillion Danis and Logan Paul didn't face each other eye-to-eye as expected. Instead, Paul engaged in a face-off with Mike Perry, the replacement fighter for this bout.

Following the press conference, Danis took to Twitter to set the record straight. He disputed Paul's claims that he was reluctant to do the face-off and voiced his frustration about how the event unfolded.
Logan Paul wrote, "Dillon threw a tantrum & left the arena before our face off so I did it with a real fighter who will actually show up @PlatinumPerry."
Danis stated, "I genuinely love fighting and everything the game offers. I can't sleep; there are so many thoughts going through my head right now. I want to entertain more; I feel like I was silenced. Let's do another press conference with just me and Logan in the States; it was just starting to get good.
Dillon Danis has shared video evidence supporting his claim that he was ready for a face-off with Logan Paul before being escorted away by the police. He posted a video on Twitter with the option, "Proof I wanted the face-off."
He also added, "Flying in the backup fighter, kicking me out of the press conference, no face-off, and cutting all my interviews—among other things—just keep killing the buzz I have for this fight. I'm tired of the disrespect. Maybe I'll just go silent and let DAZN realize what I bring to the table."
At the press conference, where fighters were displaying their rowdy personas, Dillon Danis stood out as the sole participant who was denied the opportunity to take part in the face-off.
Adding to the spectacle, Dillon Danis found himself in a unique situation as he was the only fighter on stage being restrained by multiple security guards during the on-stage altercation.

Danis swiftly responded to the tweet, defending himself by saying, "You got cooked verbally and with objects to the face. This is such a pu**y post. The police forced me to leave for your safety. You have my number; I'll meet you anywhere and do a stare-down."

With both fighters speculating about the possibility of their opponent pulling out leading up to the bout, the tension and anticipation surrounding this exhibition match continue to escalate.
