      But after an explosive pre-fight press conference last night, MMA star Danis claimed it should be off as he tweeted: “Logan Paul just missed weight.”
      But Paul, 28, quickly hit back at those claims by Danis by showing a clip of himself on the scales that showed his weight at 194.3lbs in a social media post at 11:41am.
      The 30-year-old Danis then vented his fury by posting this lengthy statement: “The commission’s rules state that weigh-ins are between 10 and 11. If you miss the 11 o’clock deadline, you’ve missed weight.
      “I weighed in at 10:15, but Logan still hasn’t. The commission said that if he doesn’t arrive by the 11am deadline, the fight is off.

      “He missed the weight, but then called misfits and changed the rules to give himself an extra hour.
      “We should be on an even playing field, he shouldn’t get special treatment.”
      Danis then claimed: “He’s already got more juice than Tropicana. He missed the weight, plain and simple. They’re trying to handicap me as much as possible.”
      Danis then took to X, formerly known as Twitter, again to say: “He claims he made weight, but it doesn’t count. The rules are the rules.

      “If he wants to be viewed as a genuine boxer, he needs to follow the 11 o’clock deadline.
      “Look at the time he posted. It’s not fair; I had to follow the rules, and he isn’t an exception.”
      Despite Danis’ statements, Sun Sport understands that there was no 11am deadline for this showdown.

      Meanwhile, Paul’s younger brother Jake, 26, had earlier tweeted to state that he would step in.
      The 7-1 boxer posted: “I will always have my brother’s back.
      “I chose not to respond to the puppet’s countless tweets as it would only amplify his harassment.
      “But make no mistake, if Logan needed me to step in, I would take great joy in knocking that maggot out. See you soon.”
      That was after his elder sibling revealed his swollen face after being attacked by Danis in a chaotic pre-fight press conference.

      An explosive brawl left YouTuber-turned WWE star Paul gushing with blood on Thursday.
      The pair had just finished trash-talking on stage when Paul, who has a 0-1-2 record, hurled a bottle of his Prime drink at Danis’ nether regions.
      Danis hit back by swiping a microphone at his rival’s head as security tried to separate them.
      Paul was left clutching his face after the sickening thud of the impact cut open his cheek, with Danis then posting a picture of blood on the floor at the venue and captioned it with: “Play with fire get burnt p***y.”
      Mams Taylor, KSI’s manager and co-owner of Misfits Boxing, was initially unable to provide an update on the American’s health status after the shock incident.
      However, Paul took to social media to seemingly reassure fans that the highly-anticipated bout was still on despite the damage he suffered.
      He firstly tweeted: “This Saturday we catching a predator.”
      The much-maligned star then shared a selfie on Instagram of himself wearing dark goggles above the huge swelling and cut on his left cheek that he captioned with: “Can’t see the haterz.”

      Despite his impressive exploits in WWE, Paul has not set foot inside the boxing ring since his 2021 clash with Floyd Mayweather.
      Meanwhile, Bellator MMA welterweight Danis has not fought in over four years.

      KSI names three next fight opponents after Tommy Fury but admits he will be ‘lost’ following grudge bout

      by

      KSI admits he will feel “lost” after settling the score with Tommy Fury – but he already has a trio of superstar names lined up to fight after. The YouTube, music and crossover boxing star faces Fury on Saturday night in Manchester.

      It gives him the chance to do what his arch rival Jake Paul failed in and hand Fury a disastrous defeat.
      And KSI insisted the challenge is not about money and instead fuelled only by trying to upset the boxing odds.
      So he predicts a huge comedown in emotions after the fight – but a list of old rivals could quickly spark a change in that.
      KSI told SunSport: “I’ve made the money that I wanted to make and now I’m looking for more than that. 
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “And I know after this fight I’m probably going to feel a little bit lost and think, ‘I’m going to need something to excite me again.’  
      “And just going to figure it out, whether that’s a fight with Conor McGregor, Floyd Mayweather, Jake Paul, whatever, we’ll see. 
      “But right now I’m just trying to enjoy this moment because so many times there’s a destination point that I’ve got and I reach it and I’m like, ‘Now what?’ 
      “So right now I’m just enjoying this moment and taking it all in and once I do what I said I was going to do, over and over again, yeah I get to enjoy it. Relish it.”

      UFC legend McGregor, 35, bizarrely called out KSI, 30, to a bare-knuckle fight ringside after Anthony Joshua’s most recent win.
      And unbeaten boxing icon Mayweather, 46, faced the social media sensation’s brother Deji, 26, in November.
      But KSI’s most storied feud is with online enemy Paul, 26, whose brother Logan lost to the Londoner in 2019.
      Logan, 28, has since formed a bromance and business with KSI after launching drinks company Prime.
      But younger brother Jake has no love lost and has called to end the rivalry with the mother of all influencer boxing bouts.
      The American lost to Fury by split-decision last February and snubbed a rematch to instead beat MMA veteran Nate Diaz, 38, in August.
      So KSI turned his attention to Fury but Jake is set to be in Manchester as Logan makes his return against jujitsu champion Dillon Danis, 30.
      But if KSI was to pull off the upset at the AO Arena, he has no interest of allowing Jake into the ring for a face off.

      He said: “No. I’m just going to laugh at him and be like, ‘This is the person you lost to.’
      “Because now I’m in the driving seat, now I’m in the highest chair and I get to choose who I want.”

      I went viral for STREET boxing and was threatened with guns.. now I’m signed to KSI and winning praise from world champs

      DEEN THE GREAT has gone from fighting in the streets to becoming a star of KSI’s Misfits Boxing. The American shot to fame on YouTube for challenging rivals to boxing matches in public.

      They have become huge hits with one video of Deen boxing a Houston police officer in Texas reaching almost TWO MILLION views.
      The internet sensation – who wrestled at school – was inspired into a social media career after seeing his friends rake it in.
      Deen, 23, told SunSport: “I saw they were making $30,000 a month, I was like s***. Let me get some of that. 
      “They’re doing fake pranks so I just picked up a phone, started recording with my friends and fighting on the streets, it went viral.

      “I kept doing the street s*** and it kept going viral and kept going viral, I fought three people at once, it went viral. 
      “I even fought a police officer and that’s what got me on the map.”
      Deen started training when he was 17 and was discovered online by prankster FouseyTube.
      So when KSI launched Misfits Boxing – a platform for crossover celebrity-style bouts – it was a no brainer for the brawler.

      Deen said: “I started taking it serious when they got me on the big stage.”
      The lightweight – real name Nurideen Shahid Shabazz – admitted fighting on the streets often drew threats.
      He said: “It was hella dangerous, but I guess God was on my side. 
      “The whole point was it was guns down gloves up so people kind of got the memo. 
      “I did have a few people threaten me, but I don’t fear s***. If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be.” 
      Deen is unbeaten in Misfits and returns in a rematch on Saturday against bitter rival Walid Sharks, who he knocked out in November.
      But he is tempted by a switch to the professional game if the money is right having been supported by world champions.
      Deen said: “S***, the influencer game is where the money is at.
      “But if the pro game have some bread to throw, I know promoters have been asking me a lot of questions. 
      “A lot of them are interested so it’s going to be exciting to see. But if DAZN keep taking care of me, I’ll stick with DAZN and turn pro if there’s no one else to fight in the influencer scene, why not?
