Logan Paul beat Dillon Danis by disqualification Saturday when Danis tried to pull him down to the canvas toward the end of the sixth and final round at AO Arena in Manchester, England.
Paul, the YouTube celebrity and professional wrestler, dominated and entered the sixth round having won each of the previous rounds on all judges cards, according to ring announcer Michael Buffer.
Danis’ attempted pulldown by guillotine prompted security to flood the boxing ring as the event came to a wild end.
“Dillon Danis truly is a coward,” Paul said during a post-fight interview. “Just a dirty, dirty human being. … This (training) camp was so hard. Dealing with a guy like that was not easy. He’s a true demon, a true coward.”
The fight had been preceded during the week by insults, accusations, barbs, potshots and profanities exchanged by Paul and Danis.
In the final fight of the night, Tommy Fury beat YouTuber KSI in a majority decision, which was disputed by KSI.
