Logan Paul will return to the ring for the first time in two years.

Logan Paul will step in the ring for the first time in over two years. He announced on Tuesday that he will fight Dillon Danis on Oct. 14. This will be an exhibition fight and be on the same card as Tommy Fury vs. KSI.

Paul last stepped in the boxing ring during a 2021 exhibition against Floyd Mayweather. Since then, he signed a deal with WWE and has been performing as a superstar during pay-per-views. Now, he will take on a fighter who has had issues with both Paul brothers in the past.

Danis is a former teammate of Conor McGregor and has fought under the MMA promotion Bellator. He is best known as a jiu-jitsu practitioner. On Tuesday, both fighters took to social media to make the announcement.

“OCTOBER 14 I return to boxing after fighting Floyd Mayweather over 2 years ago.

I doubt this little parasite will show up but if he does I’m going to erase him from existence.

The PRIME Card — Oct 14 in Manchester, live on DAZN PPV!”

Logan Paul Excited To Return To The Ring

Following the announcement, Logan Paul expressed his excitement to return to boxing.

““Almost two years after fighting the greatest boxer of all time, I am so pumped to return to the boxing ring…Manchester, I hope you are ready for a night you will never forget, because The Prime Card is delivering in a big way, with KSI and I on either side of a double main event.

The world has seen the energy, athleticism and showmanship I’ve brought to WWE, but this October I plan on reminding everyone that I can bring it to boxing, too.”

Dillon Danis also took to social media to announce the fight:

“October 14th, I’ll be gracing the boxing ring for my debut. Gotta show up because the Paul sisters have a phobia when it comes to actual combat.”
