Dillon Danis says DAZN did him dirty in his new face-off interview with KSI.
The unique build-up to the Misfits boxing match on March 29th has been nothing but heated between KSI and former Bellator star Dillon Danis.
Of course, it’s no surprise with Danis withdrawing from a previous fight with KSI in 2023, settling for an even bigger rivalry vs. his business partner Logan Paul later that year.
Ahead of the fight next week, many were looking forward to seeing Danis and KSI trade verbal jabs on DAZN’s usual ‘Face Off’ interview that sees two fighters address each other on the camera.
KSI and Danis arguing for less than 11 minutes pulled in over 300,000 views in 48 hours. Some fans were disappointed with the length of the video, asking DAZN to release the unedited version, especially after what Danis had to say.
Dillon Danis says he ‘cooked’ KSI in 30-minute interview
After insulting KSI about the size of his forehead and accusing him of taking steroids (among other things), Danis says the fans were robbed of a verbal attack that lasted more than half an hour.
“They cut the face-to-face down to 11 minutes when we were in there for over 30. He got cooked,” Danis said of KSI on ‘X’. “One-man show I am he made DAZN edit it, smh.”
Danis and KSI’s feud has been ongoing for years, but it seemed a bit lacklustre as they were finally able to sit down across from one another with only Adam Brooks between them.
What made the final cut for Dillon Danis
If you know Dillon Danis, you know the 31-year-old doesn’t have much of a filter when it comes to trash-talk.
Danis infamously trolled Logan Paul and his partner Nina Agdal in the lead-up to their 2023 boxing match. As a result, Danis faces a lawsuit from Agdal for his controversial comments.
Face-to-face with KSI, Danis says the YouTuber asked for him an autograph whenever he was at SBG Ireland with Conor McGregor. “I signed your forehead,” Danis told KSI.
“I can see the forehead now finally,” Danis said at the beginning of the interview. “…You still call yourself KSI. You’re 13 years old. You gotta let it go. You took off the bandana. You’re growing up. I appreciate it.
“It’s crazy, bro. Why don’t you get that fixed? You got money.”
Danis continued to go off on KSI, the grappler threatening to submit him in the boxing match. “I choke you out and you’re laying face-first on the ground,” Danis warned KSI.
“Good luck trying to do that,” KSI replied. KSI and Dillon Danis settle their score on March 29th at Misfits Boxing 21 in Manchester, England.
