Jake and Logan Paul in disbelief at Dillon Danis' sparring session

Logan Paul and his brother Jake were both bemused by Dillon Danis' latest sparring footage, asking one another "what is that" as they watched on in disbelief.

The YouTube brothers have both transitioned into the boxing world, with Logan making his return to the ring next week after two years of inactivity. He faces MMA fighter and Jiu-Jitsu black belt Danis in the co-headliner of Misfits Boxing's Prime Card alongside KSI and Tommy Fury, and is a considerable favourite for the bout.

And video has emerged showing both he and his brother Jake, who is a 7-1 professional in his own right, watching footage that Danis released of a brief sparring session in his New York gym. They both seem perplexed by the video in the vlog posted to Jake's YouTube page, and appear to grow in confidence from watching it.

"Bro, look at him sparring," Logan can be seen saying as he shows his phone to his brother, before asking "Why would he post this s***?" Jake adds "This is like MMA sparring where they do s****y like half-sparring. Bro, there's no way." Logan then asks "Who are these guys he's sparring, how is that a defence? Like bro, who is that? What is that? I've never seen this technique bro."

There is then a clip where Jake watches Logan sparring, but the camera is kept on the younger sibling so as to keep his brother's tactics a secret. He noted that there was a "secret combo", before beginning to talk nonsense and throw viewers off the scent.

What do you make of Dillon Danis' sparring footage? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below!

"He's fast, he's strong, unorthodox," Jake says of his brother's technique after watching his sparring rounds with coach Milton Lacroix. "He's elusive and throws a lot of punches and he doesn't stop. I think he's going to really hurt Dillon badly, let's see if Dillon shows up."

Logan has previously said that he isn't concerned about Danis' boxing skills, and only wanted to compete in order to punish him for his online antics, "He does deserve to get the absolute s*** kicked out of him," he told The MMA Hour last week. "And if I get to be that person, that's very exciting to me because let's be honest, nothing about Dillon's striking is mesmerising.

"Nothing about Dillon's striking makes you think twice about the danger on the feet. But he can sell a fight, bro. He's a good troll, he's done a great job, I've got all the back end and he's got none of it. So s***, keep lining my pockets, shout out. He gets a flat rate, I don't even have a flat rate."
