Dillon Danis furious after KSI cancels Misfits boxing fight due to illness

Dillon Danis insists that British YouTube star-turned-boxer KSI is scared to fight him after their March 29 bout got postponed.

On Friday, Misfits Boxing announced that the boxing match, set to take place in Manchester, will be moved due to KSI catching an unnamed illness.

Speaking to DailyMail.com, Danis claimed KSI is making excuses to delay the contest.

‘He’s scared, it’s an excuse,’ Danis said. ‘I’ve been battling worse, have my ticket to Manchester, was ready, and he bottled it. I feel bad for the fans.’

When asked about a potential new date, Danis said ‘I actually don’t know.’ However, Misfits claimed an update will be issued next week.

In a video, posted on his X page, KSI explained the delay to his followers, saying ‘I’ve tried my hardest.’

Dillon Danis insisted KSI is scared after their boxing match was postponed due to illness 

‘But my body has literally just given up. I’m currently in bed, taking antibiotics, trying to recover but I’m struggling,’ he added. ‘I’m coughing up greenish-yellow s*** all the time, my sinuses are hurting to the point where I need ibuprofen every day.’

KSI detailed how he tried sparring through the sickness but felt weak during the workouts.

‘My stamina’s fallen off a cliff, I can’t even taste right now or smell,’ he shared. ‘Basically, I’m f***ed. I’ve been ill for almost three weeks and it’s just not got better.’

After noting that he’d been checked by multiple doctors, KSI claimed ‘I’ve never been this ill for this long in my life and I hate it. I feel useless and it’s depressing.’

‘I feel like I’ve let so many people down. I haven’t been able to post videos to help promote the fight because I have been feeling so s***.’

Danis reposted the video and wrote ‘I remember my first cold,’ as KSI apologized to the fans, Misfits, and DAZN between coughs.

KSI and Danis were meant to square off in the boxing ring at Manchester's AO Arena

KSI is 4-1 1(NC) as a boxer and was looking to bounce back from a unanimous decision loss from Tommy Fury in October 2023.

On the other hand, Danis, who is 2-0 in MMA was set to return to the boxing ring for the first time since getting disqualified against Logan Paul in the co-main event for KSI-Fury.

Danis is also set to make his MMA return against former UFC interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson in the Global Fight League. Their fight was announced on February 28 and marks Danis’ first MMA bout since June 2019. 

Ariel Helwani reported on Thursday that the contest is to be included in the GFL’s first event on May 24 and 25 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
