KSI reveals Dillon Danis as next boxing opponent for Misfits 004 event
British YouTuber KSI has announced MMA fighter Dillon Danis as his next opponent, with the two set to touch gloves at the Misfits x DAZN X Series 004 event in January.
For the last few months, YouTuber, rapper and boxer KSI has been linked with fighting a slew of different opponents before his ultimate challenge of facing Jake Paul in the ring.
There have been a ton of names wanting to touch gloves with the popular YouTuber, such as the likes of Tyron Woodley, Slim Albaher and many more.
However, following a scuffle at the X Series 003 weigh-in, kicking off an outright brawl between the two parties, KSI and Dillon Danis are officially set to face in the ring.
The anticipated bout will take place at MF & DAZN: X Series 004 event at the OVO Arena in Wembley, London on January 14. It’s assumed the event will also be available on pay-per-view on DAZN.
Though a BJJ black belt, the bout will be Danis’ debut in the world of boxing following an almost four-year hiatus from fighting, whereas KSI comes off the back of his monumental event winning two fights in one night.
“I feel great, it’s easy money to be honest, that’s a little b*tch of a thing, I’m used to fighting real fighters, so he’s not ready for this,” Danis told Misifts Boxing. “I guarantee you I knock his ass out, watch.
“I’m gonna hurt him bad bro. The f**ked up part about all this whole thing is like these little YouTube boxers they’re gonna see what a real fighter feels like. He’s gonna see… I’m gonna hurt him bad bro, I’m gonna hurt him bad,” he added.
KSI issued a serious warning to Danis after a heated encounter at the X Series 003 weigh-in where the MMA star punched the YouTuber on the jaw. “I’m the wrong guy to f**k with @dillondanis,” he wrote on Twitter.
More details on the bout are expected in the coming weeks.
