As the date for Logan Paul and Dillon Danis' long-awaited fight draws closer, things seem to have gotten even more tense now that we're just a matter of weeks away from the high-profile clash.
Dillon and Logan are set to face one another in a boxing ring next month (14 October) and the latter's younger brother, fellow YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul is now left 'worried' about attending the fight over fears of a 'hostile' environment in the UK.
The match is set to take place in Manchester with KSI and Tommy Fury also battling it out during the event.

Jake, who was defeated by Fury in his last outing back in February, also has a long history of rivalry with British YouTuber KSI, as well as verbally clashing with the likes of fellow Brits Conor McGregor and Tyson Fury.
So, it makes sense why he would be somewhat apprehensive of the reception he may face across the pond.
Speaking on a recent episode of The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Logan was asked whether his brother would be in his corner on the upcoming night.
"We’re working on it," the Impaulsive host explained.
"He’s worried about the environment, he thinks it will be kind of hostile."
Helwani joked: "Nah, they love him there, come on man.
"You got the Furys there, you got KSI's fanbase, should be great."
His comments come after the KSI vs Fury fight had a major rule change, according to a BoxRec listing.
The pair are set to battle it out in the ring next month in what was initially advertised as an exhibition bout - following suit of KSI's last five fights.
While Paul vs Danis is a six-round exhibition, the fight between KSI and Fury appears to now be listed by BoxRec as a professional bout after originally being advertised as an exhibition.
However, it should be noted that the British Boxing Board of Control did not confirm and sanction the upcoming match as a professional fight.

And that's not the only drama that's happened in the run-up to that fateful day - far from it.
Logan has previously responded to Dillon relentlessly attacking his fiancée Nina Agdal with X-rated abuse online.
Speaking on his his Impaulsive podcast, Logan expressed: "Yo, he's attacking an uninvolved third party - a woman - and it's all he has.
"The amount of dirt I have on Dillon just sitting in my phone. The amount of people who f***ing hate this guy who send me stuff.
"But do I want to go there? About his mum, his relatives, his sisters, his cousins."
Guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens in the ring with Logan and Dillon come October.
