Influencer boxing has been popularized by trendsetters like British YouTube sensation KSI. He had taken a hiatus from boxing to concentrate more on his music career and his businesses. But he finally made his long-awaited boxing comeback in August, predictably sweeping two opponents in a single evening. He will now go up against MMA fighter Dillon Danis. However, KSI made some comments regarding his opponent’s mother before their battle, which generated backlash online.

Danis is known for being UFC sensation Conor McGregor’s teammate and sparring partner. 

KSI has been creating a lot of  noise about his next battle since it was announced. Boxing is a business where you have to sell your fight to the audience by trash talking. But occasionally, when promoting the fight, people cross certain boundaries. Check out the recent comment made by KSI that is making waves online.

Fans react to KSI’s Tweet about Dillon Danis’ mother 

KSI will be seen locking horns with Danis on January 14th. Notably, the event will be orchestrated by KSI’s firm ‘Misfits Boxing’ and DAZN.
