Conor McGregor Says He’s Training Dillon Danis for Logan Paul Fight

With Conor McGregor’s fighting career still on hold, the polarizing MMA star has revealed plans for his next endeavor, which will place him at the center of one of the year’s most-hyped boxing matches.

McGregor announced on Saturday he will train longtime friend and training partner, Dillon Danis, as he prepares for his boxing debut against Logan Paul on Oct. 14. Paul’s match against the Bellator fighter will mark the social media and part-time wrestling star’s first in the sport since June 2021.

The former two-division UFC champion also offered, as he so often does, a bold prediction for the bout, guaranteeing Danis will emerge victorious.
