Logan Paul challenges WWE wrestler Rey Mysterio after beating Dillon Danis: 'I want that US title'
CLEVELAND, OHIO: After defeating Dillon Danis in a crossover boxing match at the MF & DAZN: X Series 10 - The Prime Card, Logan Paul has his sights set on Rey Mysterio of the WWE.
In the post-fight interview that followed his victory against Dillon Danis through disqualification, Paul made his goals clear. The competition took place over the course of six rounds, but tragically it fell short of the excited audience's hopes.

Logan Paul established himself as the dominant force right from the start by using more aggression and skill when fighting. Danis' plan to wear Paul down failed as he claimed victory in each of the first five rounds with comfortable victories.
In the sixth round, Danis struggled to mount any significant offense and resorted to a desperate and ultimately illegal guillotine attempt, which led to his disqualification from the contest.
Paul first entered the WWE two years ago and made his debut on the huge platform of Wrestlemania. He renewed his contract with the team in April, reaffirming his dedication to it.
Paul's ultimate goal right now is to land a championship match, and he has Rey Mysterio, a 48-year-old wrestling icon, squarely in his sights.
Logan Paul expressed his aspirations for future success in the wrestling ring, with a particular ambition to win he American championship in his post-fight interview.
Paul addressed Rey Mysterio personally and said, "I want that US title. Rey Mysterio, I already beat you once, brother, and I'm coming for that US Championship. Let's go!"

Jake Paul calls Dillon Danis a 'maggot'
Jake Paul aka 'The Problem Child' called Dillon Danis a "maggot" on Twitter and steered clear of the continuing dispute between Danis and Logan. He thinks the Twitter discussions were a calculated ploy to raise interest in the match.
Jake Paul just tweeted his unwavering support for his brother Logan Paul. He said he had decided not to respond to Dillon Danis, whom he called "the puppet and maggot." Jake also said that Danis has been tweeting frequently, which would only make the harassment worse.
But Jake made it clear that if Logan ever needed him to step in or intervene, he would joyfully do so, and he expressed faith in his ability to manage the circumstances well.
Jake wrote, “I will always have my brother’s back. I chose not to respond to the puppet’s countless tweets as it would only amplify his harassment. But make no mistake, if Logan needed me to step in, I would take great joy in knocking that maggot out. See you soon.”
