While fans eagerly awaited the upcoming matchup between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis, the drama took a turn after Danis shared a shocking poster. On 13 October 2023, Danis shared the poster stating that Logan Paul has backed off from the fight and his brother Jake will be replacing him in the ring. The news came after Logan Paul missed the weigh-ins for their battle, and according to the commission's rule, if a player misses out on the weigh-ins, the fight will be called off. Since Logan couldn't make it for the weigh-ins on time, Danis announced that Jake Paul would replace his brother in the contest.
Reacting to the post, one fan wrote, "Cancelled!! Is that you ducking for the easier brother. Honestly can't believe all the hype for it to be cancelled." While some fans were trolling Dillon under his post, Logan Paul denied Dillon's announcement by replying, "You wish. See you tomorrow." The two personalities will be meeting each other in the rings of AO Arena in Manchester, England and fans can watch it live on DAZN.

Logan Paul Will be facing Dillon Danis; Fight to be live on DAZN
After Dillon attacked Logan with the mic at the pre-fight press conference, fans thought they would continue their battle in the ring. Before the fight, the fighters must go for weigh-ins, and the regulatory commission monitors the activity. According to Dillon, Logan was late for the weigh-ins, resulting in the fight's cancellation. After Logan couldn't show up, the commission made some amendments to the rule and gave Logan an hour to appear. Dillon was unhappy and claimed, "We should be on an even playing field; he shouldn't get special treatment." In his post, he mentions:
The commission's rules state that weigh-ins are between 10 and 11. If you miss the 11 o'clock deadline, you've missed weight. I weighed in at 10:15, but Logan still hasn't. The commission said that if he doesn't arrive by the 11am deadline, the fight is off. He missed the weight, but then called misfits and changed the rules to give himself an extra hour.
Since the match is still on, Logan Paul and Dillon Danis will be meeting each other at AO Arena in Manchester, England, on the undercard of KSI vs Tommy Fury.
