Dillon Danis fails to show up for KSI face-off ahead of grudge fight

Dillon Danis failed to make the trip to London for today's launch press conference with KSI, refusing to even join by video link.

Bellator MMA star Danis is in training for his first boxing match, and is based in New York where he lives and trains. And he wasn't willing to make the seven-hour trip to London in the middle of fight camp to promote the event alongside KSI having already travelled to Texas to initially push the event.

However, his no-show wasn't all bad for organisers, after the two head-to-head encounters he and KSI had got physical. Their first one saw Danis throw a punch at his rival before spilling coffee over he and his manager as well as YouTuber personality Wade Plemons, while their in-ring confrontation at the following night's event also spilled over, with Danis being removed from the venue.
