Logan Paul has been left 'very angry' after Dillon Danis hit him in the face with a microphone on Thursday.
The two men are set to fight on Saturday night and, in the build-up to that showdown, there's been plenty of controversy.
Danis has regularly taken aim at Paul's model fiancee, Nina Agdal, with a lawsuit filed against the 30-year-old as a result.
As for Paul, the YouTuber has made comments about Danis' alleged daughter and also mocked the death of his father.

On Thursday, tempers boiled over.
Paul was struck in the face by Danis, with the 28-year-old left bleeding after being hit by his rival's microphone.
He was immediately taken off the stage and was seen holding his head in his hands, with Danis then taking to social media to share an image of blood on the floor.
Now, KSI - who is Paul's business partner - has insisted his friend is 'fine'.
But he also revealed the YouTube icon was 'very angry' ahead of Saturday night's showdown.
"I went to go see Logan and he is all good. It’s just a little bit of a bruise," said the 30-year-old, who is preparing for his own fight with Tommy Fury.
"But he’s very angry. He’s very angry that he got hit."
"So yeah, Logan can’t wait to destroy him on Saturday night."
KSI's own pre-match event also descended into chaos.
While squaring up to Fury, who is the favourite to reign supreme given he has a boxing license, John Fury got involved.
The father of Tommy and Tyson Fury attempted to break a cage in order to get to KSI.
That came after KSI had spat from a balcony at John Fury following his decision to launch a bottle skywards.
After Paul was left injured, meanwhile, some wondered if Saturday night's fight would get called off.
But the 28-year-old has taken to social media to insist that won't be happening.
"Dillon can't escape me. The fight is very much happening, the stakes just got higher," he said.
Tommy Fury, meanwhile, has told The Sun he's open to fighting Paul next if he manages to beat KSI.
"I'm going to solely concentrate on Saturday night, get a great performance God willing and then we'll get around the table and see what's next," he said.
"I'm sure if Logan Paul wants it he can definitely have it, 100 per cent.
"I don't really care about these guys, any one of them, whoever wants it at that time, whoever puts up the best offer is gonna have the fight, aren't they?
"It doesn't matter to me who I fight, especially not with these guys."

Addressing his fight with Jake Paul back in March, which he won, the former Love Island star added: "At the end of the day, we had our beef, our fight, we settled it all in the ring and for now that's died down.
"There's always going to be a fight there as I'm sure he wants to get that fight back - but that's never going to happen.
"And at the end of the day he can sit there and watch what should have been done to him."
