Dillon Danis claims lawsuit with Logan Paul's fiancee could cost him £325,000

Dillon Danis has claimed that his lawsuit with Logan Paul's fiancee Nina Agdal could end up costing him over £325,000 even if he 'wins the case'.

The MMA fighter is set to face YouTube star Paul in a massive pay-per-view boxing fight on October 14 at the AO Arena in Manchester. And Danis has set off on a relentless campaign against both his rival and model Agdal, to whom he got engaged earlier this year

Yesterday, Agdal's Temporary Restraining Order against Danis was continued by a judge in New Jersey after he skipped an important court date. And speaking on a stream with controversial influencers Andrew Tate and Adin Ross, Danis explained that his legal fees are beginning to rack up deep into the six figures amid the legal back-and-forth.

"Even if I win the case, right, I still have to pay over $400,000 [£325,000 approx] in attorney fees, lawyers' fees," Danis explained. "So it's just bulls*** when I'm promoting a fight, this is the biggest fight or event he [Logan Paul has ever done and I made the whole event. It's just bulls***, man." Tate then jokingly responded that he "did make the event interesting, I'll give you that."

New Jersey federal judge Madeline Cox Arleo wrote yesterday in her order that Agdal’s order against Danis “is likely to succeed on the merits, given Defendant’s unauthorised disclosure of a nonconsensual, sexually explicit photograph of Plaintiff.” Agdal's lawyers have also added a defamation claim to their lawsuit for posts Danis has made since the lawsuit was filed.

One piece of the lawsuit alleges that Danis or someone acting on his behalf hacked into Agdal's Snapchat account in order to retrieve an explicit video, which he later posted to social media. It is said that a cybersecurity firm traced the file to a hack of her Snapchat account in 2022.

But he defended himself from that allegation with another tweet during the night, writing: "I'm actually flattered that she thinks I'm smart enough to hack a Snapchat.

"And also, as if years ago I knew they were going to get married and kept them for this moment."

Danis' fight with Paul is the co-headliner for October 14's Misfits Boxing event entitled 'The Prime Card' which will also feature KSI vs Tommy Fury at the AO Arena in Manchester.

The show is expected to draw in a massive pay-per-view number, and has already sold out the 21,000-capacity venue.
