KSI, the YouTuber-turned-boxer, took to X last month, writing, “Not rumored. I am very down,” to express his interest in a showdown with UFC megastar Conor McGregor. This statement created a lot of hubbub amid speculation of the Irishman facing Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition of their own. However, rumors suggested that Logan might withdraw due to his WWE commitments. Moreover, McGregor himself confirmed the UFC’s unwillingness to let the bout go down.

Ultimately, the fight never came to fruition, and nearly a month later, neither KSI nor Logan Paul appears to be the Irishman’s next opponent. Despite that, KSI now has a confirmed fight on the horizon. Misfits Boxing recently announced that he will face MMA fighter and grappler Dillon Danis on March 29 at the AO Arena in Manchester at 185lbs. KSI confirmed the matchup on X, stating, “When I found out I had the opportunity to fight him, I had to take it up. I finally get my payback for what he did to me at Misfits 3. That double-guard BS won’t work with me pu–y. See you soon.”

KSI and Dillon Danis have had a heated rivalry since MF & DAZN: X Series 003 in 2022, where tensions nearly erupted into a physical altercation. Their feud escalated into a scheduled bout in January 2023 at Wembley Arena in London as part of X Series 004. However, just days before the fight, Danis withdrew, citing that he was “underprepared.” His sudden exit left their grudge unsettled, leading to Thomas Oliveira stepping in as a last-minute replacement. KSI successfully defended his MF cruiserweight title, knocking Oliveira out in the first round.

Following that victory, KSI continued his boxing journey, taking on businessman and professional boxer Joe Fournier. However, his impressive winning streak in 2023 was snapped when he faced Tyson Fury’s younger brother, Tommy Fury. After an intense six-round battle, Fury secured a decision victory, handing KSI his first loss in Misfits Boxing.
