Considering Danis has a propensity of pulling out of fights, Paul has already chosen a potential backup fighter, just in case that happens.
On Tuesday, it was revealed that former UFC star turned bare-knuckle fighter Mike Perry will serve as the backup fighter against Logan Paul if Danis doesn’t show up on fight night.

Both Paul and Perry faced off after Danis stormed out of the press conference.

Perry is currently undefeated in bare-knuckle boxing and will likely be a tougher fight in the boxing ring for Paul than Dillon Danis.
