Dillon Danis outlines 'Jake Paul clause' in MMA star's boxing fight contract

Dillon Danis has claimed that he was "guaranteed" a fight with Jake Paul in the contract for his failed fight against his brother Logan.

Bellator fighter Danis, who makes his boxing debut against KSI next month, was in talks to fight Jake last year but the YouTuber-turned-boxer settled on another MMA star in Ben Askren. Danis insists that a term of his contract for fighting Logan guaranteed him a fight against Jake for "crazy money".

"[Me and Jake] were supposed to fight many times, I asked for an extra two months as I had a knee surgery. I was getting ready for my comeback and they were like 'you want to fight Logan then guarantee Jake for a crazy amount of money?'. But they wanted me to wait for him [Logan]," Danis said on The MMA Hour.
