Buffalo Bills Star Is Ready To Fight Logan Paul

YouTube star Logan Paul has proven repeatedly through the last few years that he's a solid athlete and willing to fight a wide range of other athletes at different skill levels. But his latest challenge to the NFL was quickly accepted.

Paul recently announced a $1 million challenge for any NFL player who wants to fight him. In an interview with TMZ Sports, Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins declared that he'll happily take the challenge.

“I mean, I think when it comes down to it, who's not serious about a million dollars or plus?” Dawkins told the outlet. “If you can fight and you're confident in yourself, everybody should be barking at it or talking about it. Why not?”

Dawkins explained that he has been working on his boxing after learning that All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams does it.

“I started boxing originally because I heard Trent box,” Dawkins said. “If Trent is the best left tackle and Trent boxes, I think every lineman should be boxing.”

Dawkins vs. Paul

As for how a fight with Paul would go, Dawkins predicted that he'd knock Paul out.

“Logan Paul falls, bro,” he said. “Heavyweight to heavyweight - he walks around at 220. So a heavyweight fight equals a heavyweight fight… come and get your [expletive] kicked.”

That being said, Dawkins doesn't have the level of disdain for Paul or his brother Jake Paul that others have. He conceded that the two have enriched the lives of many fighters across the world.

“They've changed guys’ lives,” Dawkins said. “People could hate on it, but they started on YouTube and turned it into boxing and WWE. I respect it.”

Ultimately, Dawkins believed that his superior size would allow him to destroy Paul in ways that other boxers probably can't. He dared Paul to face him in the ring.

“The true big dogs bark,” Dawkins said. “If you want to see what a skinny guy trapped in a big guy body looks like… come test these hands.”

Dawkins is a five-time Pro Bowler and ranks among the league's best. Having the task of blocking for the ultra-mobile Josh Allen sharpens a player's skills pretty quickly. At 6-foot-5 and 320 pounds, he cuts an imposing figure against almost any athlete in any sport.

Paul might have his hands full with Dawkins if the two ever sign up for a fight.
