Dillon Danis could not stop stuttering in his face-to-face with Logan Paul
Dillon Danis has been widely ridiculed for stuttering his way through a face-to-face with Logan Paul.
The two are squaring off as the co-main event for KSI and Tommy Fury's blockbuster fight at the AO Arena in Manchester on October 14.
It's been getting extremely personal, with Danis continually posting pictures and videos of Paul's fiance Nina Agdal on social media in a bid to get in his head.

At the weigh-in, he came out wearing an alien Toy Story beanie hat as a reference to what Paul wore in his controversial 'Suicide Forest' YouTube video.
But he didn't have all that much in his locker when it came to the mandatory DAZN face-to-face held in promotion for the encounter. Paul and KSI initially trolled Danis for failing to show up, claiming he "locked himself in his room".
He did then turn up, but in awkward footage posted by Paul, the MMA fighter looked visibly nervous and kept tripping over his words.
It happened on a number of occasions, with Paul telling Conor McGregor's teammate "watching you stumble over these sentences is painful".
When it happened again, the WWE superstar said, "get this man a glass of water". The Maverick posted the clip on X, captioning it "internet troll in real life" and accruing 6.1 million views.
The face-to-face was filmed prior to the press conference, where Paul unveiled a poster featuring an image of Danis being choked out by a security guard, as well as bringing out a 30th birthday cake containing a picture of him lying unconscious.
He went on to hurl that cake at Danis but the presser came to an abrupt end when Tommy Fury's dad John went on an an angry rampage and flipped the tables over.
Danis will make his debut against 0-1 Paul in an eight-rounder at bridgerweight - a weight class Misfits Boxing are using in tribute to Bridger Walker, who saved his four-year-old sister from a stray dog three years ago.
