KSI explains stunt he had planned for Dillon Danis before withdrawal

KSI has explained he had the security guard that choked out Dillon Danis ready to attend the pair's fight week press conference.

YouTube star KSI - real name JJ Olatunji - was set to meet MMA fighter Danis at Wembley Arena next Saturday night, but his rival withdrew at short notice after being "underprepared" for the clash. The pair had already confronted each other in two heated face-offs, with the first seeing Danis throw a drink and a punch at KSI, before they confronted each other following the confirmation of their fight.

Back in 2021, Danis was choked out by a security guard who submitted him in a video that went viral, which was used a fuel to mock him by rival Jake Paul. And KSI has revealed that he planned to make Danis "s***" himself with the press conference stunt to up the stakes during the build-up.
