Dillon Danis doubts KSI fight will happen as he hits out at "fishy" goings on

Dillon Danis has hit out at a "fishy" rehydration clause in the contract for his fight with KSI, declaring that he's concerned the fight may not happen.

The Bellator MMA star is set to make his boxing debut against YouTube star KSI on January 14 at the OVO Arena Wembley. But he has expressed his concern with a clause that will make him weigh in again on fight day after cutting down considerably to get to 177.5lb for the official weigh-ins the day before.

Danis claims that he will be hit with a hefty fine for coming in over another weight, which he isn't used to from the world of MMA or jiu-jitsu where he made his name. It's common to have a rehydration limit in boxing, with a number of big fights being delayed during negotiations over the severity of such a clause in recent memory.
