KSI defends decision to fight controversial MMA star Dillon Danis

KSI has defended his upcoming fight with Dillon Danis by claiming no-one will be satisfied until he faces Jake Paul.

The YouTube star - real name JJ Olatunji - is looking to step up his activity after returning to the boxing ring in August with two wins over Swarmz and Luis Pineda. He will return to action in the new year when he takes on notorious troll Danis at the OVO Wembley Arena on January 14.

The MMA star has never boxed before and is known primarily for being a training teammate of UFC superstar Conor McGregor. KSI has insisted fans would not have been impressed with his latest announcement even if he fought Tyron Woodley or boxing legend Floyd Mayweather.
