Dillon Danis is scheduled to make his return to combat sports in a boxing match against social media personality Logan Paul on Oct. 14.

The bout will be on the undercard of the KSI vs. Tommy Fury event and takes place at AO Arena in Manchester. The card will air on pay-per-view via Dazn. Danis vs. Paul is scheduled for six, three-minute rounds and will be contested at 195 pounds, according to MMAjunkie.com.

Danis, a training partner of Conor McGregor, drew attention for his brash personality after signing with Bellator MMA. He earned a pair of first-round submission victories from 2018 and 2019 but hasn’t competed for the organization since then. In early 2022, Bellator president Scott Coker claimed that Danis was ready to return, but nothing has coming to fruition with the California-based promotion. Last November, Danis had an altercation with Nate Diaz outside of Madison Square Garden. Danis was previously slated to box KSI in January before withdrawing from the bout.

Paul, meanwhile, lost a split decision to KSI in his professional boxing debut before facing undefeated champion Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition match in June 2021. More recently, Paul has ventured into the sports entertainment realm as a professional wrestler with WWE.
