It is a fight like no other. KSI will finally settle his heated enmity with former Bellator icon Dillon Danis in a crossover fighting match next weekend.

The duo had been booked to clash in January 2023 following a feud that broke out a year earlier yet Danis withdrew a week before the episode.

Dillon remains controversial boxer. He recently faced a lawsuit from Paul’s fiancée Nina Agdal for his online scoffs against her ahead of his match with Paul. That contest marked Danis’s professional boxing debut. The 30-year-old, Danis, has previously dabbled in MMA and focusses in grappling, having attained two crowns at the 2016 Pan jiu-jitsu championship. Besides, The American is a former teammate of UFC superstar Conor McGregor.

“I don't know if he'll admit it on camera, but we spoke about having an MMA fight and he said that I’d kill him. There is no point. Which is so crazy to think about, because I could kill him right there if I wanted to. It's so stupid that they won't fight MMA. Logan promised me he was gonna fight me in MMA. He never did. It's just f**ked up that they won't do it. Like why not? I'm not a boxer, I'm going to box him,” said Dillon Danis during an exclusive interview with the Casinobeats.com.

Danis has participated on a Misfits card before. He lost by disqualification to Logan Paul in October 2023 in a chaotic clash that witnessed security guards enter the ropes and separate the duo.

Dillon steps in for former Chelsea, Manchester City and England footballer Wayne Bridge in the March card after the defender backed off following comments made by the YouTuber about his personal life that he said went too far.

“So, it’s like a predator. It’s crazy looking. Who’s that old cartoon where the thing has the big brain, Megamind? It’s just so crazy looking. In the face-to-face he was trying to say that he’s bringing big foreheads back in the style and all this s**t, it’s so cheesy. I don’t know when it’s going to drop but it’s so cheesy the way he was talking about it. He was trying to say that he’s gonna bring it back and the people are not gonna go to Turkey anymore for hair transplants. The crazy thing is his head’s so big, but he’s so stupid. His s**t talk was so bad, but it might have been a ruse to not get me too mad where they wouldn’t let us close because he I think he had that pancake thing all day long in his head,” he said during the interview.

'The Nightmare' is seeking to seal a winning rejoinder, the better part of two years after he lost to Tommy Fury in his last expedition onto the canvas for a bout.

KSI was set to hand Conor McGregor's former sparring compatriot his boxing debut but was compelled to pivot to a match with FaZe Temperrr.
