KSI has ‘Unfinished Business’ with Dillon Danis or whatever that means in influencer boxing. Misfits Boxing officially stated the matchup will take place March 29, at AO Arena in Manchester, England for next month. Going by the gimmicky but somehow apt card title “Unfinished Business” – it will stream on DAZN PPV (pay-per-view).

Dillon Danis has built up a rep for being inactive and pulling out. He was part of the Misfits & DAZN: X Series 10 setup before fighting Logan Paul. Everyone knows how that went with his not-so-professional conduct and R6 disqualification. With substantial beef, AKA ‘Unfinished Business’ from Misfits 3, KSI now douses a challenge.

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.

It’s unclear how many rounds the bout have, but the weight limit is expected to be 185 pounds. It’s also not public if it’s a pro-sanction or exhibition fight. KSI (4-1) and Danis (0-1) were originally set to meet in a six-round exhibition bout at 178 pounds in January 2023. However, Danis pulled out of the bout just 10 days before the event, and game streamer FaZe Temperrr (Thomas Oliveira) subbed in.

Much like Jake Paul in America, KSI has become a huge draw for English influencer boxing scene. He’s taken part in six exhibition boxing fights. These include undefeated boxer Joe Fournier/ journeyman Luis Alcaraz Pineda. KSI also fought pro and beat Logan Paul by a split decision in his debut. However, he lost to Tommy Fury in October 2023. There’s style and sauce, but not enough to win fans over on this one.

Fight fans uninterested, react to KSI vs. Dillon Danis

Ex-Bellator MMA welterweight Dillon Danis is riding these days famous as a practicing ‘keyboard warrior’. That is to say, a pullout merchant who trolls endlessly, doesn’t show up, or shows up to pull guard in a boxing ruleset. KSI has warned him about such ‘double-guard BS’ stints.

The duo also has a substantial rivalry, entering Misfits ‘Unfinished Business’ on DAZN PPV. The former jiu-jitsu coach of ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor and KSI went at it a while back, at the Misfits X DAZN X Series 003 event in Austin, Texas. At the end of which, Dillon Danis clocked him and started a brawl at the weigh-in event as usual.

Now, the duo have their chance to meet each other after Danis bailed on a KSI boxing scrap in London. However, this isn’t it for fans. Neither do they care nor do they think that Danis even makes it to the matchup. Here are a top few reactions:

It’s a weird day when Jake Paul of all people gets praises for crossover boxing; that is exactly what happened. In their rivalry, KSI and team often judge him harsh for battling MMA washouts. Now people have called on him as a hypocrite.

A popular comment (@TheRollerd) even retorted “This is so embarrassing for you. Jake owns you.” To the fan clique, Danis remains less than relevant as a YouTube boxer and once-grappler. Hence, the sentiments on this one are far from hitting home.
