Following a controversial night of fights at the Prime Card on October 14, Logan Paul has spoken up about all aspects of fighting Dillon Danis. From the heated pre-fight build-up to the boxing action itself, Paul addressed everything on his IMPAULSIVE podcast. Now that the dust has settled, Paul has turned a corner and admitted that he now regrets picking Danis as his opponent for the fight. The feud between Paul and Danis was far from the usual pre-fight banter. The lead-up to the fight turned dark when Danis targeted Paul\u2019s fianc\u00e9e, Nina Agdal, in a series of derogatory social media posts. The situation even escalated to a point where Misfits Boxing threatened to cancel the fight unless Danis deleted an explicit image of Agdal. Ultimately, Danis\u2019 out-of-control social media tactics led to Agdal filing a lawsuit against Danis, seeking $150,000 in damages and a restraining order. And now, Logan Paul has reflected on the entire saga in a recent episode of IMPAULSIVE. When asked if he regrets the decision to choose Dillon Danis as his opponent for this fight, he admitted, \u201cI do. I lied in the build-up when I said I didn\u2019t regret choosing him as a partner.\u201d He continued, \u201cI\u2019m eternally sorry for Nina. I\u2019ll spend the rest of my life apologizing if I have to for putting her through that kind of torment. It\u2019s inhumane what he did. She\u2019ll hold him accountable.\u201d Paul also acknowledged how Agdal\u2019s public profile posed some unique challenges that other fighters and their partners are unlikely to face, \u201cNo fight organization or promotion has ever seen this type of build-up, this is gnarly. And no fighter, I think, has a partner who can be exploited in the way that Nina can.\u201d \u201cShe\u2019s a public figure, you know, and with that comes the limelight and a lot of responsibility that a lot of fighters aren\u2019t able to do with their opponent as their wives don\u2019t have an independently self-made career. He was able to exploit it in a way that worked for the build-up but it kind of hurts. It hurts, personally.\u201d Despite the personal attacks, it was Paul who emerged victorious in the six-round boxing match, defeating the ex-Bellator fighter without much competition. As for what\u2019s next? It seems unlikely that the two will ever clash again after Paul stated Danis \u201cdoesn\u2019t deserve\u201d the rumored MMA fight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Logan Paul admits choosing Dillon Danis as opponent was \u201cmistake\u201d DAZNLogan Paul has admitted that he regrets fighting Dillon Danis after a feud that saw his fianc\u00e9e, Nina Agdal, subject to \u201cinhumane\u201d personal attacks on social media.
