Logan Paul has claimed that he is "going to destroy Dillon Danis' entire life" when the pair meet at the AO Arena in Manchester next week.
The YouTube star has been on the receiving end of a relentless social media onslaught over the last few months since their fight was announced. And most notably his fiancee bearing the brunt of Danis' mockery, with the MMA fighter taking aim at her looks, previous relationships and other insecurities while more than doubling his following and garnering around 2.5billion impressions.
Danis has even been slapped with a $150,000 lawsuit and a Temporary Restraining Order by Agdal. And he has regularly threatened to pull out of the fight, most recently trending on Twitter over a comment saying "Logan bragging about lawsuits again he isn’t built for the fight game, this p**** doesn’t deserve me I’m out."
In response to the controversy, Paul wrote to his followers: "Don’t let Dillon fool you… he knows that pulling out AGAIN would guarantee no fighter, fight organisation, or legit brand will ever work with him because he’s an unreliable liar. Not to mention the embarrassment of p****ing out against me.
"I’m going to break this predator physically, mentally, spiritually, and financially. This isn’t about just winning the fight; I’m going to destroy his entire life. But truthfully, [I don't give a f***] who shows up on October 14 - the man across from me will be knocked out cold."

Danis has previously estimated that his legal fees could end up costing him as much as $400,000 for the lawsuit, which is independent of Paul and has been filed by his fiancee Agdal. But he took issue with an appearance on Logan's brother Jake's podcast in which he appeared to brag about the effect that it would have on the fighter.
He responded to Paul's tweet by writing: "Logan is so delusional he thinks this makes him look good. It’s actually crazy. Suing someone isn’t a real fighter move. It's a cowardly move. Step down from your moral high ground. Also, be a man and turn on your replies p****."
