he co-main event.After their six-round heavyweight grudge contest at the AO Arena in Manchester on Saturday night descended into a large brawl, Logan Paul defeated MMA fighter Dillon Danis by disqualification.
When Danis attempted to use a guillotine maneuver to take down Paul and Paul attempted to hit his opponent while on the ground, the final round descended into chaos.
One security guard entered the ring at first due to the disturbance, but more than 30 others soon joined and Danis began to punch them.
even Jake Paul joining in, all the while Logan was jubilantly standing on the ropes.
Flying objects, press conference brawls, and trash talking had occupied the time leading up to the battle.
Since the fight was publicized, "El Jefe" Danis has been persistently harassing Nina Agdal, Paul's fiancée, on social media. This harassment culminated in a chaotic and contentious final round.
While Danis grabbed control of the center of the ring in a cagey opening round, Paul, who was sporting pink shorts, boxed outside and at a distance.
Danis threw a couple of backhand shots before lying flat on the canvas taunting his rival. It had Paul and the crowd frustrated and agitated at what resembled a pantomime, rather than a pay-per-view fight.
Danis had never competed in a boxing match before, with his experience instead coming in jiu-jitsu and mixed martial arts, although he has not fought in MMA in four years, and he only has two professional bouts to his name.
The 30-year-old was set to fight KSI months ago but withdrew, but he got his crack at Logan Paul, whose only pro fight defeat came against KSI.
Paul, who has over 23 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, won easy fourth and fifth rounds with his opponent just looking to avoid the knockout, while Danis was deducted a point in the final round for trying to wrestle Paul to the ground before the brawl broke out.
The official result of the fight is a win for Logan Paul by disqualification.
After the fight, Paul described his opponent as a "dirty human being", saying: "He's supposed to be good at jiu-jitsu. What happened bro?
"I stopped the takedown he tired. He tried to do a Guillotine and I'm sorry I missed that hammer fist. Ooh that would have been good.
"I'm sorry it ended that way y'all. Dillon Danis truly is a coward, a dirty, dirty human being."
