Jake Paul
The younger Paul started the beef with Danis and was once set to fight him – but he is confident his big brother will get the job done.
He told the Nelk Boys: “Logan is a really good boxer and he’s really athletic and he’s really strong.
“He’s had experience being in the ring with Floyd Mayweather for eight rounds. So when it’s all said and done I believe Logan’s going to knock him out.”

Viddal Riley
The English cruiserweight champion coached KSI to victory over Paul but he does not give Danis a chance of repeating the result.
He told the Daily Mail: “Dillon Danis has never proven that he’s effective with punching. We know that he’s a jiu-jitsu specialist.
“But when it comes to throwing strikes, I’ve never seen anything that makes me think he can stop someone like Logan attacking him. So, I see a Logan Paul win.”
Prediction… Paul win
