Dillon Danis Just Torched Jake Paul's Latest Cash Grab - And He's Not Wrong

By Lewis Barnett 29 August, 2025 5 mins read 137 Views

Look, I've watched enough circus acts to know one when I see it.

Dillon Danis went off on Jake Paul yesterday, calling his upcoming November 14th fight against Gervonta "Tank" Davis nothing more than a glorified money heist. And honestly? The guy's got a point that's hard to argue with.

Listen to the Summary

Five Stone Weight Difference? Come On.

Here's where this gets absolutely ridiculous. Paul weighs in at 200 pounds in the cruiserweight division while Davis is a 135-pound lightweight champion. That's a 65-pound difference - basically the equivalent of watching a high school wrestler take on a college linebacker. My cousin could spot that mismatch from space.

The "fight" is scheduled for Atlanta and will stream on Netflix, riding the wave of Paul's controversial win over 58-year-old Mike Tyson back in November. Over 100 million people watched that spectacle, which says something pretty depressing about what we consider entertainment these days.

Danis Didn't Hold Back (Shocking, I Know)

"I think it's a joke," Danis said, and for once I'm nodding along with the guy. "He says he wants to be a world champion, he's fighting a 125 pounder. I call it like the Tyson fight, they're gonna have a little sparring match. It's basically selling wolf tickets and just stealing people's money."

That last part hits different. Because that's exactly what this is - an exhibition bout that won't even count toward Paul's professional record. The man just beat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in June to earn his No. 14 cruiserweight ranking with the WBA, and now he's... fighting someone five weight classes below him?

The Bitter History Between These Two

Danis and Paul have been circling each other like angry cats for years now. "There's no Jake Paul without me," Danis claimed, which is probably giving himself too much credit but whatever. The drama really exploded when Danis fought Logan Paul (Jake's brother) in October 2023.

That fight ended in disaster. Danis got disqualified in round six for attempting an MMA move - because apparently someone forgot to explain boxing rules to the MMA fighter. Classic.

But then things got really ugly.

When Social Media Wars Go Too Far

Logan's now-wife, Danish supermodel Nina Agdal, ended up suing Danis for what the court documents called "revenge porn." The lawsuit alleges Danis launched a "relentless, ongoing campaign of cyber harassment and bullying" that included posting sexually explicit photos without consent.

Agdal got a restraining order. The posts allegedly racked up over two billion views. And Danis? He's still dealing with the legal fallout. "I can't talk too much about it but it is very taxing and terrible but we'll get through it and win," he said recently.

Yikes. That's a mess that makes the Paul brothers look like choir boys.

What's Next for the Chaos King?

Danis was supposed to fight KSI (Logan's business partner in that Prime drinks empire) back in March, but KSI pulled out a week before the fight claiming illness. Poor timing or convenient excuse? You decide.

Now Danis is making his MMA comeback this Saturday in Manchester against social media influencer Warren Spencer at Misfits 22. It'll be his first MMA bout since 2019, and he's pumped about it.

"It's not emotional, it's more excitement I just want to get the f*** in there and do it," Danis said. "This is gonna be a f***ing mauling. I can't wait for you guys to see this. I wish I could watch it on pay-per-view!"

At least someone's being honest about wanting to beat the hell out of their opponent.

The Real Problem Here

Listen, I get it. Paul knows how to sell fights and generate buzz. The guy's turned himself into a legitimate business empire built on controversy and spectacle. But when you're charging people to watch exhibition matches against opponents who have no realistic chance of winning... that's when "entertainment" starts feeling like exploitation.

Danis might be a walking controversy magnet with serious legal problems, but his criticism of Paul's latest venture? That's probably the most sensible thing he's said in years.

Sometimes it takes a chaos agent to point out that the emperor has no clothes.

How To

How to do a correct boxing hook

The hook is a powerful, close-range punch. You can pivot on the front foot of your stance and move your lead hip in a forward direction. Swing your leading arm horizontally towards the target while bending it at a 90 degree angle. To maximize the power of your punch, make sure that your elbow is in line with it. You should practice throwing the hook both with speed and control.
