KSI and Dillon Danis are supposedly going to settle their differences.
Misfits Boxing announced Tuesday that a rebooked boxing grudge match between KSI and Danis is set to headline Misfits Boxing 21 on March 29 in Manchester, England’s AO Arena. The bout will be contested at 185 pounds.
KSI and Danis were originally booked to fight in January 2023, however Danis infamously withdrew from the bout one week prior. According to Misfits promoter Mams Taylor, Danis was “underprepared.” Danis eventually debuted in the promotion when he boxed Logan Paul in October 2023 and lost the match via a bizarre sixth-round disqualification.
KSI, 31, the co-founder of Misfits Boxing, was also on that same card and competed against Tommy Fury in the main event. He also lost, as Fury outpointed him en route to a unanimous decision. Neither KSI nor Danis have competed since that night.

Danis, 31, has been mostly inactive since he departed from MMA as a once-hopeful Bellator welterweight prospect in 2019. The Paul match has been his only professional contest in six years, though Danis also recently signed with MMA’s latest upstart promotion, the Global Fight League (GFL). Danis is a part of Team New York and GFL founder Darren Owen told Uncrowned that he likes the idea of matching Danis against former UFC interim lightweight Tony Ferguson.
KSI’s six-match boxing career began in 2019. He won his first four outings before a knockout win over Joe Fournier was overturned to a no contest once footage revealed KSI landed an accidental elbow strike rather than a punch.
