KSI will take part in another high profile boxing event at the start of 2023 as he takes on Dillon Danis at the OVO Arena in Wembley in a fight which is part of the Misfits x DAZN boxing series.
One of the biggest YouTubers in the world, KSI has now established a new string to his bow within the world of boxing as he now faces MMA star Dillan Danis. The American Bellator star has appeared in front of KSI at two promotional events already, causing controversy by being thrown out of the venue on the second occasion as as a confrontation spilled over.
KSI criticised Danis for not appearing at a further press conference on December 15 in London, with the American claiming that his training camp prevented him from making the trip. KSI disputed, this claiming that he had shown a lack of respect by not making an appearance.

He said: "In terms of Dillon Danis not being here at the moment I think it's quite disappointing, disrespectful to me and everyone who's here expecting him to show up. But it's not something I haven't seen before, same thing happened with Alex Wassabi.
"We were meant to fight and he obviously flaked, I don't know, maybe it's my presence, maybe it's just me in general, I'm such a scary guy. I can understand that I'm very disciplined, very focused and if you look at my resume I don't lose too many times. So, I think for Dillon that's probably seeping in.
"I know he's undefeated himself, but I think looking at me in the eyes even when we saw each other in Texas I could tell it was all a facade. He had to pretend that he's bigger and stronger than he actually is and it kind of shows, him not being here, shows how little he really is, how small his mindset really is. He says I'm not a real fighter but I'm always here, always ready and he is a 'real fighter' but he has not made the plane trip to see me. He's not made even the zoom call to see me, he's terrified, petrified of me."
Also on the card, former holder of the WBA International Light-Heavyweight title Joe Fournier takes on take on former professional MMA fighter Tony Christodoulou. Meanwhile, British internet stars Elle Brooke and Tom Zanetti are also on the card which takes place in North London next month.
