KSI criticised for "ducking" Joe Fournier after Dillon Danis withdrawal

KSI has been accused of "ducking" Joe Fournier after announcing FaZe Temperrr as his replacement opponent.

YouTube star KSI - real name JJ Olatunji - was set to make his latest bow against MMA star Dillon Danis at the OVO Wembley Arena next Saturday night but his opponent has withdrawn. The British star was once again prepared for the withdrawal having faced a similar fate with rival Alex Wassabi last year, so elected to choose FaZe Temperrr who was set to compete on the undercard.

It is expected KSI will fight three times this year with the final test potentially set to be a mega-fight with YouTube rival Jake Paul. However in the meantime, undefeated boxer Fournier who was considered as an opponent, has been reposting messages of disappointment from fans who believed he would be the late replacement.
