Dillon Danis was launched an x-rated tirade at KSI after his rival was spotted out at a concert on the night they were due to fight.
With just over a week until the planned pay-per-view boxing bout, KSI told fans in an Instagram video that he was out of the show due to illness. The entire event was moved, although Darren Till revealed today that no news has emerged yet surrounding the planned next steps.
Misfits Boxing insisted that the event was just ‘postponed’ and will have a new date announced soon. But with Danis having to drop 20lb to fight Tony Ferguson at a career-low weight in the GFL within the next two months and DAZN loading their schedule, it’s hard to see when the fight will fit.
Dillon Danis launches tirade at KSI after he’s spotted on night out
Dillon Danis appeared astounded as KSI was spotted enjoying an Usher concert at London’s O2 Arena tonight, around the time they would have been walking to the ring. The YouTuber-turned-boxer was spotted in the background of boxing star Derek Chisora’s Instagram story smiling and enjoying the show.
Having pulled out of the first scheduled meeting between the pair back in 2023, Danis was expected to be the fly in the ointment of the planned fight. However, he travelled to London mid-camp for a press conference to show his intent, and was slapped with a pancake for his troubles.
He didn’t hold back on X, spouting conspiracy theories during an x-rated rant at his rival: “You can’t make this s— up. @KSI faked the sniffles. He’s a scared little b—-. I was told he couldn’t get out of bed, and he’s out on the night of the fight? WTF?”
Danis continued, claiming that Logan Paul had the fight pulled due to their ongoing feud and his legal battles with the WWE star’s fiancee Nina Agdal. “KSI was never sick,” he declared. “Logan made him pull out. I called it from day one and no one believed me.
There is no record of that accusation being true, and Logan Paul has not publicly commented on the fight at all.
Danis finished up his exchange by continuing: “KSI canceled the fight to go to an Usher concert. I’m done.”
KSI opened up about illness in recent YouTube video
In his announcement video around the fight cancellation, KSI appeared to be really sick as he battled back coughs and wore a breathing strip. However, he appeared to be in better form this week while commentating on the Baller League, causing controversy with fans.
“I have been ill, more ill than I’ve ever been in my life,” he told viewers in a video posted to his YouTube channel this week. “I don’t think I’ve ever been ill for this long, symptoms are I can’t taste, I can’t smell, loss of breath, I have fevers.
“I have just been a mess, training is harder than it normally is so I’m going through it. I didn’t want to just be in bed feeling sorry for myself for weeks so I felt like I had to just do something.
“I had to try at least create a video. Even now just doing this video I can feel my body just sweating. My body is just like over heating.”
