YouTube boxer KSI has blacklisted Dillon Danis from his promotion Misfits Boxing after he pulled out of the pair's fight on ten days' notice - and fears his career may be in jeopardy.
Danis was given the blessing of Bellator MMA boss Scott Coker to make the brief step into crossover boxing and face KSI for a huge payday, only to pull out due to being "underprepared" ten days out. And during a recent appearance on The MMA Hour, Coker appeared split on what remains for Danis as a fighter even in his own sport of MMA.
At one point, the American was one of the most exciting prospects in the cage; making his name as a top-tier Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt before moving to the cage after teaming up with Conor McGregor. But an injury in 2020 that cost him his third Bellator bout lingered for years before he finally signed to fight KSI, for which he never seriously trained with a coach or recognised gym.
