On October 14, Logan Paul achieved a dominant victory over Dillon Danis during 'The PRIME Card' event in Manchester, UK

MANCHESTER, UNITED KINGDOM: Logan Paul on October 14, Saturday, achieved a resounding victory in the boxing ring against Dillon Danis, signaling a remarkable moment of payback during "The PRIME Card" event.

Leading up to the bout, which unfolded in Manchester, England, Danis relentlessly launched personal attacks on Paul and his fiancée.

Yet, when the two finally squared off in the ring, Danis proved to be little more than a punching bag for the majority of the fight.
