DILLON DANIS has challenged Adrien Broner and Amir Khan to boxing matches, insisting he’d KO both men with ease.
The Bellator welterweight has flirted with the idea of entering the boxing world to take part in a grudge match with YouTuber Jake Paul, who recently attacked him with water balloons.

Despite having no professional boxing experience to his name, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace is confident about his striking, so much so he believes he can beat former WBO super-featherweight and WBA light-welterweight champions Broner and Khan.
On Wednesday night, Danis, 27, posted a side-by-side picture of himself and Broner to his Instagram story with the accompanying caption: “I want a boxing match next.
“I feel this guy would be an easy KO. Who do you guys want to see me box?”
Danis – a long-time training partner of former UFC champion Conor McGregor – followed up that story with a side-by-side snap of himself and Khan, the latter of whom was being punched in the face.
The accompanying caption read: “Or give me glass jaw Amir Khan?”
Danis then turned his attention to mocking the calibre of opponent Paul has faced since entering the boxing world.
Alongside pictures of YouTubers AnEsonGib and Deji, Danis wrote: “Jake’s last two opponents.

“I’d KO these slobs every day of the week and twice on Sundays. No wonder he ran from me.”
Danis is adamant the younger Paul brother Jake – who is gearing up to face former UFC welterweight Ben Askren – is scared to fight him.
Last month, he tweeted: “Don’t let @jakepaul fool you he’s all talk now he’s backing out of fighting me like the p***y he is.”
Paul, however, insists he’d happily throw down with the Marcelo Garcia black belt.
When asked about a potential fight with UFC champ Amanda Nunes, Paul told TMZ: “Nah, I wouldn’t fight her.
“Waste of time. No one knows who she is. There’s not a lot of hype there. Plus, there’s no history.
“I wanna knock out Dillon because we’ve been talkin’ s**t back and forth for 2 years, I’ve hooked up with his girlfriend, he’s all butt-hurt about it, there’s history there.”
Paul’s showdown with Askren is set to take place on April 17, although a venue for the fight has not yet been announced.
Danis, meanwhile, doesn’t have a fight booked at the moment.
