Things have gotten far beyond ugly between Logan Paul and his next opponent, Dillon Danis. Their upcoming fight is scheduled for Saturday, October 14, but there’s been speculation that it might not even go down. With all the controversy and legal issues that have led up to this bout, many observers (and Paul’s camp) think that there’s a good chance Danis might bail on the match-up. If so, backup fighter ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry has said he will be more than game to fill in and fight Paul.

In an interview with the TMZ Sports Show, Perry discussed his unique situation – stuck in limbo as to whether or not he will be pressed into action. He says that he’s going into that week assuming that he will be in on the action.”I’m preparing for a fight like normal like I’m the one fighting,” Platinum told us … but of course, there’s a good chance he never throws a punch.””They told me all the way up until the point where if Danis gets into the ring, answers the bell, and walks out of the ring to say that he was there and showed up, I would still get in the ring and fight Logan.”

The Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis bout has been marred by controversy. Danis began to harass Paul’s girlfriend, model Nina Agdal, in order to get into his opponent’s head and basically talk trash. However, it went so far that Agdal eventually filed a restraining order against Danis, who has vowed to win the fight convincingly.

For his part, Logan Paul has said that he’s taking the fight very personally, based on the fact that Danis targeted Agdal.

“I don’t see him going past two rounds,” Paul told Sports Illustrated recently. “Yeah, I don’t think it’ll go past two rounds, but I’ll be honest, if I get in there and I’m piecing him up, and I see quickly his skill level, I’m gonna make him suffer for as long as I can
