CNN —YouTube and WWE star Logan Paul defeated MMA fighter Dillon Danis by disqualification in Saturday’s influencer boxing event at the AO Arena in Manchester, England. But the occasion descended into chaos afterwards as security piled into the ring to separate the two fighters while Paul himself clambered on top of the ropes and held his arm aloft in a victory salute. “He’s supposed to be good at jiu-jitsu, what happened?” Paul said afterwards, according to broadcaster DAZN. “I said from day one, there’ll never be another Tyson Fury, I’m just trying to be the best Tommy Fury I can be.”The high-profile double-header garnered huge interest online – the quartet have a combined following of over 17 million on X, formerly known as Twitter. Misfits Boxing, the promotors of the event, told CNN that general sale of the tickets sold out within an hour, with the whole night being sold out in a week.

His case on Thursday was adjourned to Nov. 30 and the trial is set to hang over the opposition as it tries to regroup and rally disheartened voters ahead of local elections in March. At the same time, calls have grown louder for the opposition's defeated presidential candidate Kemal Kilicdaroglu to resign as chairman of Imamoglu's Republican People's Party (CHP). Tanju Tosun, political science professor at Ege University, said the CHP's internal politics could overshadow its preparations for next year's local elections. "If the internal rifts within the CHP continues until local elections, candidates from the ruling AK Party (AKP) could defeat opposition candidates in many cities," he said. "YSP may field candidates (in Istanbul and Ankara)," Meral Danis Bestas, a senior YSP official, said.
