A lot of animosity is expected in the Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis encounter, especially after what happened in their recent press conference.

The two protagonists' recent pre-fight press conference ended in chaos. Paul got a cut in the eye after Danis threw a microphone at him, responding to the WWE star throwing a bottle his way.

Danis has never boxed before, while Paul has had a couple - including one against KSI and another retired boxer, Floyd Mayweather Jr. These experiences are seen as one of the reasons why the WWE superstar is the odds-on-favorite.
