Additionally, Dillon said he might appeal to the athletic commission, accusing Paul of multiple offenses, but it’s not clear what they are, and we’re not sure how serious he is about it.
Both fighters failed to impress in the six-round boxing match. However, Logan Paul officially emerged as the winner, pending the result’s confirmation.

Conor McGregor, a former UFC double-champion, discussed Dillon Danis’ fight against Logan Paul after a long hiatus due to a leg injury.
McGregor, who is Danis’ teammate, praised Danis for his performance and had some harsh words for Paul.
He criticized Logan, saying,
“You were in a dark spot? Guess what mate, you’re back in a dark spot now, back into the locker room, thinking about all the stuff you’ve been through. You’ve done nothing. Up the crew!”
McGregor also mentioned that the fight was closer than people might remember, encouraging Danis to have more confidence in his shots.
