DILLON DANIS is all set to face YouTube sensation Logan Paul on the epic Misfits Prime card of KSI vs Tommy Fury – but he made a name for himself through jiu-jitsu.
This will be Danis’ first-ever competitive appearance in the boxing ring.
But the American can be encouraged by Paul not having a fight since his 2021 defeat to boxing legend Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather.
Furthermore, Danis has plenty of combat sports experience to lean on in the form of jiu-jitsu.
And SunSport is here to uncover his intriguing record.

The American star went through the belt system at Jamie Cruz’ academy before moving to New York to train full-time at Marcelo Garcia’s academy in New York.
By the age of 19, Danis had earned himself a black belt after wins at the sport’s most prestigious competitions.
And Danis’ career fully took off when he was invited to become a coach and a main grappling partner of MMA legend Conor McGregor ahead of his epic showdown against Nate Diaz in 2016.
