Logan Paul Unveils Strategic Clause To Prevent Dillon Danis Fight Withdrawal

Logan Paul is taking measures to ensure Dillon Danis won't back out of their scheduled fight in Manchester on October 14.

On his Impaulsive podcast, Paul disclosed a clause in their agreement that would penalize Danis should he withdraw from the fight.

Paul expressed doubts about Danis' reliability due to his previous withdrawal from a bout with KSI, citing struggles with weight and preparation.

To deter potential withdrawals, the clause dictates that if Danis fakes an injury and a doctor selected by Paul's team verifies the deception, Danis would be required to pay a $100,000 penalty. Paul also criticized Danis' financial situation, claiming he's broke and dubbing him a "parasite" of the MMA and combat world.

The fight, for Paul, represents a chance to erase Danis from the combat sports landscape. Paul emphasized his belief in his boxing abilities and his motivation to simultaneously excel in two sports.

He recalled his previous boxing experiences against KSI, with whom he had a draw and later suffered a split decision loss, as well as his exhibition match against Floyd Mayweather. Paul expressed concern about Danis' promotional tactics and the challenge of fact-checking his claims.

Despite his hesitations, Paul questioned if Danis truly deserved the attention and recognition he was receiving, while maintaining his determination to defeat him swiftly in the fight.

LeBron James Stays With Lakers, But Pay Cut Rumors Persist

Image
Photo: Instagram/LeBron James On Wednesday morning, it was announced that LeBron James has signed a two-year maximum contract with the Los Angeles Lakers. This deal includes a player option for the second year, effectively allowing LeBron to reassess his future with the team each season. Earlier speculation suggested that LeBron might take a pay cut to help the Lakers add more players through trades or exceptions. However, with this full max contract, the Lakers are now about $1.2 million over the "second apron," a financial threshold that imposes strict limits on team spending and player additions. Sources say the Lakers and LeBron’s team are discussing the possibility of reducing his two-year, $104 million contract to stay under this threshold. Crossing the $188.9 million mark would restrict the Lakers' ability to make trades and add players during the season.

Image
Photo: Instagram/Jiri Prochazka Following his loss to Alex Pereira at UFC 303, former light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka is contemplating his future in fighting. Prochazka hinted on social media that he might either evolve as a fighter or retire. However, his coach, Martin Karaivanov, has another idea: moving down to middleweight. Prochazka, who has never fought professionally at 185 lbs, is considering this move. Karaivanov believes now might be the perfect time to try it. “Everything was fine. I don’t know what happened. Jiri himself said afterward that he couldn’t get into the match,” Karaivanov told tncz. He added, “We’re certainly not done, we’re continuing. Middleweight would give meaning as a new restart.” Photo: Instagram/Jiri Prochazka After his loss, Prochazka announced he would take a break from competing but has returned to some light training, sharing a video of himself punching a plank of wood. He remains focused on improving, stating, “I will take rest, but now

Bronny James Joins Lakers, Earning More Than Last Year's Pick No. 55

Image
Photo: Instagram/Bronny James LeBron James is returning to the NBA for a record-tying 22nd season, where he could play alongside his son, Bronny James , on the Los Angeles Lakers. LeBron agreed to a two-year contract with the Lakers, a source told the AP. The second year is optional, meaning LeBron could become a free agent next summer. LeBron's deal is reportedly worth around $74 million, bringing his career earnings close to $790 million. This announcement comes shortly after Bronny signed a four-year deal with the Lakers worth $11.7 million, with $1.78 million for his first year. Bronny's contract is significantly more than Isaiah Wong's deal last year. Wong, the No. 55 pick in 2023, signed a two-way contract with the Pacers worth $833,627, partially guaranteed only if he made the regular-season roster. Unlike Wong, Bronny's contract is fully guaranteed. Photo: Instagram/Bronny James Lakers coach JJ Redick praised Bronny's hard work, saying he has great potent

Lakers Should End Pursuit of DeMar DeRozan After LeBron's New Contract

Image
Photo: Instagram/DeMar DeRozan The Los Angeles Lakers had high hopes of adding a third star to join LeBron James and Anthony Davis this offseason. LeBron and Davis were also eager for the team to go "all-in for another elite player," according to The Athletic's Sam Amick. However, it seems less likely each day that the Lakers will form another "big three." Their best chance likely slipped away when Klay Thompson chose to join the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday. The next day, LeBron re-signed with the Lakers for a two-year, $104 million deal . This contract could push the Lakers over the luxury tax limit, making it hard to add another star. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski said the Lakers are no longer pursuing big stars due to the salary cap. Instead, they have turned their attention to DeMar DeRozan from the Chicago Bulls. But the Miami Heat are slightly favored to land DeRozan, a six-time All-Star. Photo: Instagram/DeMar DeRozan At 34, DeRozan might not fit the &
