KSI vs. Dillon Danis Set for Long-Awaited Clash at Misfits Boxing 21

After more than a year of buildup, KSI and Dillon Danis are finally set to settle their differences in the boxing ring. Misfits Boxing officially announced that the two will headline Misfits Boxing 21 on March 29 at AO Arena in Manchester, England. The fight will be contested at 185 pounds, and the event fittingly carries the theme “Unfinished Business.”

This fight was originally supposed to take place in January 2023 at Misfits Boxing 4, but Danis withdrew just a week before the bout. According to Misfits promoter Mams Taylor, the reason was Danis being "underprepared." Since then, KSI has moved on to other challenges, while Danis finally made his Misfits Boxing debut against Logan Paul nine months later. However, that fight ended in disappointment for Danis, as he was disqualified in Round 6 for repeatedly attempting to grapple and pull Paul into a guillotine choke.

For KSI, this will be his first fight since October 2023, when he suffered his first professional boxing defeat against Tommy Fury in a highly anticipated main event. Before that, the British YouTuber-turned-boxer had built an impressive record, including a victory over Logan Paul, three consecutive stoppage wins, and a No Contest.

With both fighters looking to bounce back from recent setbacks, the stakes are high. Danis is aiming to prove he belongs in the influencer boxing scene after his lackluster debut, while KSI is determined to reassert himself as a top figure in crossover boxing.

Given the long history of trash talk and animosity between these two, fans can expect an intense buildup to fight night. Whether Danis can finally back up his words or if KSI will add another win to his resume remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—this fight is happening, and there will be no more excuses.
