Logan Paul declares WWE US title match superior to boxing bout with Dillon Danis: 'I wouldn't call that a fight'
CLEVELAND, OHIO: Logan Paul recently discussed his wrestling match with Rey Mysterio, emphasizing that it exceeded his boxing bout with Dillon Danis in October 2023.
In a brief interview with ESPN, the newly crowned WWE champion acknowledged his previous boxing encounter but highlighted that it paled in comparison to the intense eighteen-minute match he had with Mysterio.

During the interview, Logan Paul claimed that he wouldn't call the match with Dillon Danis a "fight."
Talking about his "fight" with Mysterio and throwing shade at Danis, Paul said, "That was barely a performance. I wouldn't even call that a fight. Tonight was a fight. Tonight was hard. I'm telling you, bro. I'm winded."
He continued, "I feel like I really earned this. So, I see these comments online. 'Logan Paul, spoon-fed, silver spoon in his mouth. Everything's been given to him his whole life. He hasn't earned it.'"

He added, "I would do more in 12 hours than most people do in 12 months. My blueprint cannot be duplicated, bro. My pace is unmatched. I'm not playing the same game as the other people. I've beaten the matrix, and I'm the architect."
Logan Paul's rivalry with Dillon Danis
The Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis boxing match was marked by an intensely personal buildup in the months leading up to the bout.
The drama unfolded with a pre-fight press conference, during which Danis threw a microphone at Paul's face, resulting in a black eye.
Additionally, a purportedly explicit video of Paul's fiancee, Nina Agdal, was leaked.
In the actual fight, Paul took the initiative, pushing the action, while Danis primarily focused on defending himself and evading knockout blows.
Danis ultimately tried an MMA-style takedown after defending for six rounds, and Logan Paul won by disqualification.
That may perhaps be the case when the US Champion said that he had a better performance than usual when facing Rey Mysterio.
