KSI claims that Dillon Danis' team attempted to push back the pair's doomed fight by six months, even offering him $100,000 to allow for the change.
The YouTube star was due to face undefeated Bellator fighter Danis next week at Wembley Arena but has been forced for the second time in his boxing comeback to switch up his opponent. The Brit will instead face fellow influencer Thomas 'Faze Temperrr' Oliveira and has expressed his annoyance at the circumstance.
KSI has shared a message, seemingly from Danis' team, in which they offered to pay him a six-figure sum in order to delay the bout until the summer. They appear to reference a clause in the contract that allowed for such a postponement, but the bout was ultimately cancelled, with the likelihood of a rescheduling next to non-existent.
"He's a delusional idiot" KSI said of Danis in a new YouTube video. "But do you know what's even more funny? His team sent this: 'Dillon wants to propose postponing the fight for six months as your rights under the contract and he would be willing to sign something assessing liquidated damages of $100,000 to Misfits in the event he doesn't show up'.
"That's what his team sent. Danis still thinks he has a chance to fight me six months down the line. Go f*** yourself. Go f*** yourself, f*** yourself. You are a pointless stain on this earth. F*** yourself, get f***ed you twat, you d***head, everyone now knows what you are: B**** made. You will never get this opportunity again, now off you go and f*** off. It is done. Never again."
Danis has claimed that the reports he pulled out due to being "underprepared" are "fake news", telling fans in a recent social media post that "the truth will shock everyone". However, he has yet to speak publicly about what his reasoning is, with promoter Mams Taylor insisting that his team claimed he hadn't taken preparation as seriously as necessary.

KSI's manager and Misfits Boxing boss Taylor broke the news of Danis pulling out in a video for the Misfits Boxing YouTube channel. He said: "As you guys are aware, Mr Danis has made quite a few excuses, he signed a binding short-form contract and no material changes were ever made.
"His team, who I feel sorry for because they're very co-operative and respectful, they came and said to me 'Dillon is pulling out of the fight'. The real reason is, from what they said to me, that he's underprepared. He has no coach, he might be struggling with weight even though there's no rehydration, he has not been able to find a team that's going to support him to bring him into the fight.
"Obviously, he's got some other issues, it's very sad and unfortunate because he didn't reciprocate the respect that we've given him and no word from him. He's clearly embarrassed that he's in this position and who knows what he's going to come out with and say, but I'm disappointed."
