Danis pulled out of the fight owing to a lack of preparation, inability to find a coach and issues with the contract weight. KSI, on the other hand, was extremely disappointed with the turn of events. He even addressed the same in a recent interview, saying, “There was literally no excuse. His excuse was, Nah, I don’t fancy anymore. Like he signed the paper, he did everything, and I did literally all the press. [It] got all the clout and did everything.”
