Dillon Danis lost to Logan Paul in a boxing match in the Misfits Boxing promotion but maintains that he’d win in a ‘real fight.’
Danis appeared on Piers Morgan on Tuesday sporting a pair of sunglasses and said that he’s appealing the loss to Paul because Paul punched him while he was on the ground. Danis lost to Paul via disqualification after he tried to apply a guillotine choke and pull guard in the final round sparking a melee between teams.
“It didn’t feel like a fight. It felt like he was running away. Every time I tried to engage with him and tried to get in there and like trade he would run away,” Danis said.
“Even Conor [McGregor] said that. He was running. He was on the back foot the whole time. I was trying to push forward. I wanted to fight. I wanted to clinch. I wanted to play. I was like, let’s go.”
Danis landed nine punches throughout the six-round bout. Had the match not ended in a disqualification Paul would have easily won via unanimous decision.
“Boxing is not a real fight,” said Danis. “It’s half a fight. I want to fight him in a real fight. He shook my hand and said that he was going to fight me in MMA.”
Danis is signed with Bellator MMA and has a 2-0 record…
