Fans have been eagerly anticipating the conclusion of the feud and here, SunSport reveals how the experts think it will go.

He told the Nelk Boys: “Logan is a really good boxer and he’s really athletic and he’s really strong.
“He’s had experience being in the ring with Floyd Mayweather for eight rounds. So when it’s all said and done I believe Logan’s going to knock him out.”
Prediction… Paul KO
Eddie Hearn
Hearn promoted KSI’s 2019 rematch win over Paul but has stepped away from the influencer boxing scene.
But he keeps a keen interest on Misfits Boxing and has backed Paul to beat Danis.
He told Pro Boxing Fans: “Logan Paul wins that fight.”
Prediction… Paul win
Viddal Riley
The English cruiserweight champion coached KSI to victory over Paul but he does not give Danis a chance of repeating the result.
He told the Daily Mail: “Dillon Danis has never proven that he’s effective with punching. We know that he’s a jiu-jitsu specialist.
“But when it comes to throwing strikes, I’ve never seen anything that makes me think he can stop someone like Logan attacking him. So, I see a Logan Paul win.”
Prediction… Paul win
Dana White
The UFC president has never pulled his punches when it comes to slating crossover bouts and this one was no different.
He said: “I like Logan a lot, great kid. But, who in this room thinks that’s a great fight.
“Raise your hands please if you think him vs Dillon Danis is a great fight. Nobody, not one guy?”
Prediction… Nobody wins – including the fans
KSI
The YouTube star was due to fight Danis in January until the New Yorker pulled out.
