KSI vs Dillon Danis postponed
KSI is a man of many talents and he thrives on being in the public eye. A judge on Britain’s Got Talent, a VIP guest at the Brit Awards and on Saturday, March 29, the spotlight is focused on the social media mogul from Watford once again. ‘The Nightmare’ enters the ring for his first boxing match since April 2023 to take on Dillon Danis. The American mixed martial artist also hasn’t donned boxing gloves in anger since that fateful spring night in 2023.
KSI has had two long years to stew on the memory of losing to Tommy Fury, which as well as being a controversial loss, also brought an end to his unbeaten boxing record. The king of crossover boxing will be eager to set the record straight and get back to winning ways this month.
KSI vs Dillon Danis is the top-of-the-bill cruiserweight bout at the MF & DAZN: X Series 21 ‘Unfinished Business’ event being staged at the Manchester Arena. Originally, KSI had been scheduled to fight former Southampton, Chelsea, and Man City footballer Wayne Bridge, but following a shocking verbal outburst from KSI, Bridge pulled out and a replacement had to be sought.
While Dillon Danis may have stepped in to fill the gap, the man who goes under the fighting moniker of ‘El Jefe', has been a long-term foe of KSI. They had been due to clash at X Series 004 at the start of 2023, but Danis pulled out prior to the bout, which only intensified the bad blood between the pair. The American fighter and former grappling coach of Conor McGregor lost further credibility when being disqualified in the final round of his X-Series 10 encounter with Logan Paul for attempting a guillotine choke.
There’s also a packed undercard in Manchester, that includes former MMA star, Darren Till, who won on his boxing debut in January, taking on Darren Stewart at cruiserweight. Two belts are on the line too, with Tyson (and Tommy) Fury’s brother Roman, taking on Chase DeMoor for the MFB heavyweight title and it’s Joe Laws vs Harley Benn (brother of Conor) for the MFB Super middleweight crown.
