LOGAN PAUL will face Dillon Danis in his next boxing fight.
The influencer has forged a successful career in WWE in recent months but will return to the ring for a boxing dust-up with MMA star Danis.
Paul, 28, last fought Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition bout in June 2021.
And his only professional fight to date remains his debut defeat to fellow YouTuber KSI in November 2019.
Now Paul faces a clash with Danis at the AO Arena in Manchester on October 14, on the undercard of KSI vs Tommy Fury.
The event will air on DAZN and Paul is excited to be donning the boxing gloves once again after more than two years out of the sport.

He said: “Almost two years after fighting the greatest boxer of all time, I am so pumped to return to the boxing ring on October 14, for this monster Misfits show.
“Manchester, I hope you are ready for a night you will never forget, because The Prime Card is delivering in a big way, with KSI and I on either side of a double main event.
“The world has seen the energy, athleticism and showmanship I’ve brought to WWE, but this October I plan on reminding everyone that I can bring it to boxing too.”
Danis, 29, is an unknown in the squared circle but has two wins out of two in MMA.

But his last fight was in June 2019 and Paul possesses a height, weight and reach advantage over the Bellator star.
However Danis remains confident of victory and dismissed Paul’s WWE success.
He said: “I couldn’t care less what Logan Paul has done in the WWE, because when he is in the boxing ring, he is in a completely different world.
“It’s a world of pain, a world where he doesn’t have control and it’s my world, not his. On October 14, in Manchester, Logan Paul is getting beat down.”
