Logan Paul, the WWE star and co-founder of Prime Hydration, almost pulled off a hilarious prank on his upcoming boxing opponent, Dillon Danis, ahead of the press conference for their fight on Tuesday. While Danis appeared late for the face-off, he took another cheap shot aimed at Logan Paul's girlfriend Nina Adgal while explaining the reason for his delay.

In a viral video on social media, Paul appeared to sit in front of Danis at the same table as they faced off for the first time. Paul had a bottle of lemonade flavor of Prime in his hand and the YouTuber pretended to throw the bottle at Danis, who flinched and ducked in anticipation. However, Paul stopped short of actually throwing the bottle and instead laughed at Danis’s reaction.
Danis, who is a mixed martial artist and Conor McGregor’s teammate, took the prank well and was not annoyed or embarrassed. He laughed it off, and said, “Good try”.

The press conference is scheduled in order to promote the upcoming event ‘The Prime Card’, which will feature two co-main events: Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis and KSI vs Tommy Fury. The event will take place on October 14 at the Manchester Arena.
Paul and Danis have been involved in a heated feud for months, exchanging insults and accusations on social media. Danis has claimed that Paul is using steroids and has posted photos of Paul’s fiancee, Nina Agdal, with other celebrities. Paul has obviously denied the allegations and has challenged McGregor to bet $1 million that he will beat Danis.
Paul and Danis are both making their return to boxing after a long hiatus. Paul last fought in 2021 against Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition match, while Danis last fought in 2019 against Max Humphrey in Bellator MMA. Danis, who is celebrating his 30th birthday on Tuesday, took to Twitter and posted a fabricated picture of Adgal holding a birthday balloon that mentioned Happy Birthday Dillon, and he wrote, " sorry i was late to the face off @LoganPaul had a surprise in the hotel room for my birthday 🎂 "
Meanwhile, Prime Hydration, the isotonic drink brand created by Paul and KSI, has been enjoying huge success in the market. The brand has recently signed partnerships with some of the biggest football clubs in the world, such as FC Barcelona, Arsenal FC, and Bayern Munich.
