After Jake Paul’s brutal KO win over Nate Robinson in the Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Junior boxing undercard, Jake has turned all the eyes over him. In the bout, Dillon Danis has surfaced as a potential opponent for Paul.
Both of them have been taking shots on social media at one another for quite a while now. After the win over Nate, Jake challenged and asked a lot of people to fight him. Dillon was also one of the few who challenged him for a boxing match.
The only problem is that Danis is not a free agent as he is currently contracted to Bellator. That means if Coker has to sign off an agreement of Danis doing a boxing match and for that, the deal has to be worth it from Bellator’s point-of-view, as well.
“You know, believe me, those calls have been happening for a year, you know? And you know what, I’m sure Dillon would love to fight (Paul). But my only thought is, again, why does our guy always have to go to boxing? Why don’t you come to MMA? Why don’t you come here and test your skills as a complete fighter, you know, as a mixed martial artist? If they’re willing to do that, if it’s one for one, maybe we sign a two-fight contract, let them go do boxing then come back and do MMA, then I think that’s a little more appealing for us,” Coker said.
“But, you know, never say never, and a lot has to do with what Dillon wants to do. But he’s gung ho. He’s all for it. These guys have been barking at each other for two years now. And you know, I’m sure at some point it will happen. What does it look like? I don’t know how, but I’m sure at some point something will happen. Whether we do it or they end up in a parking lot somewhere, it’s going to happen.”
