Logan Paul says fiancee Nina Agdal WILL ATTEND his October 14 bout despite her restraining order against his opponent, Dillon Danis… but admits he’s nervous the ‘predator’ could drop out of the fight beforehand
Logan Paul insists he has no regrets agreeing to his October 14 boxing match with opponent Dillon Danis. But after the converted MMA fighter sexually harassed Paul’s model fiance on social media in recent months, the former YouTube star says he is starting to doubt whether Danis will actually show up on fight night in Manchester.
“Coin flip,” Paul laughed during a Zoom call with reporters on Wednesday. ’50-50. My husband wakes up one day, he throws a tantrum, he’s a crybaby. When he wakes up the next day, he thinks he wants to fight. Who knows with this guy? Irrational, delusional, predatory human being – I have no idea.”
Nina Agdal, Paul’s fiancée, recently obtained a restraining order against Danis, who has been barred by a New Jersey court from posting sexually explicit images of the 30-year-old Danish model. The ban is not a physical restraining order, Paul revealed on Wednesday.
Agdal’s restraining order and subsequent lawsuit against Danis follow the Bellator star’s controversial decision to share an X-rated video of her online. Danis has also regularly posted disturbing messages on social media speculating about Agdal’s sex life.
Despite the restraining order, Paul said Agdal will be in Manchester on October 14, where his fight with Danis will be the co-main event before KSI’s bout with Tommy Fury.

“Nina is a warrior, dude,” Paul continued. “Dillon Danis is a puddle. Dillon Danis on Twitter, at X, behind a keyboard, is very different from Dillon Danis in person. I saw it, I witnessed it, face to face. Just two separate entities.
“And that evening especially will be incredibly glorious. What are you going to do when after all this my husband is lying face down, flat, unconscious and horizontal? What are you going to say? This is the man you are: the man on Twitter who decided to harass a woman for 60 days.”
Paul, 28, is appearing in only his second boxing match after losing to KSI in 2019.
Danis, meanwhile, was scheduled to fight KSI in 2022 but withdrew ahead of time amid accusations he was underprepared. That makes the October 14 fight his first professional boxing match, that is, if he actually goes through with it.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Paul couldn’t help but express his frustrations with Danis.
“This guy doesn’t deserve this fight, but he does deserve to get the fuck out of him.
“Unfortunately, I am a vehicle for attention, and the way I get this attention is through a boxing match with this son of a bitch.”
Despite this, Paul says he doesn’t regret fighting Danis. He adds that the October 14 card will be “one of the most exciting boxing cards we’ve seen in a very long time.”
As for Logan’s relationship with younger brother Jake, things appear to be looking up after a recent war of words between the two over a perceived slight in a Netflix special. Jake has accused Logan of being condescending towards him and admitted the two social media and martial arts stars had almost reached a ‘breaking point’.
But Logan insists this is a thing of the past.
“Jake is my brother. he will always be my No. 1 no matter what,” Logan said. ‘The relationship is great. I think he understands my point of view, even if it is not easy for him. I love the kid, he loves me, we are each other’s best friends. Right now we’re great.’
Logan was asked at one point about possibly fighting Jake, but he downplayed the suggestion, saying, “We just don’t have to do that.”
As for his future in boxing, Logan said he had no specific plans. He wants to win a title, but if that doesn’t work out happily, he still sees a future for himself in the wrestling ring.
“Definitely the WWE Championship after I take out Dillon Danis or whoever shows up that night,” he laughed.
Agdal, a former Victoria’s Secret model, claimed that an August 11 post in particular, shared by Danis, violated federal and state law.

The post, she claims, contained a sexually explicit image of her during a “romantic encounter” she had with someone more than a decade ago.
“Danis posted the photo – completely uncensored – from his X account (Twitter), without plaintiff’s consent,” Agdal wrote in the lawsuit. “Later that day, Danis reposted the explicit photo to maximize views.”
The 31-year-old claimed Danis only agreed to delete the post after the organizers of his fight with Paul, Misfits Boxing, threatened to cancel the showdown unless he deleted it.
Danis responded to the lawsuit via X, telling his followers that he couldn’t comment much at this time.
Agdal also said other messages have upset her, including a video of her from more than six years ago in which she talked about her “desire for intimacy during a period of celibacy.”

Agdal, who previously dated Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio for a year, said in the now-viral clip, “By the way, I’m really proud of myself because this is the longest I’ve gone without sex since then. I have begun.’
Agdal claims the video was saved to her Snapchat archive, “suggesting that Danis had hacked (her) personal account or obtained the private video from someone who had done so.”
The suit also states that although Agdal “recorded that video herself, she never sent that private video recording to anyone.”
Deen is seeking unspecified damages, but not less than $150,000 per violation of the federal law that prohibits the sharing of intimate images.
