Trainer Admits KSI Still Not Ready for Jake Paul, Needs More Time After Dillon Danis Fight

Leon Wills, YouTuber, boxer, and now promoter KSI’s trainer, has spilled the beans. In an interview, he shared his views on the action the latter might take post-January face-off against Dillon Danis.

Leon’s admission needs scrutiny – “yeah I think I think he will I think he’ll probably have another fight he ain’t gonna fight Jake straight off the Dillon Danis. There’ll be definitely someone else in Lent..” However, thanks to his recent performance, Jake summons greater acceptance of his boxing. Despite inherent criticism over their age difference, Jake defeating a former UFC champion often rated the GOAT is not kismet by a long shot.

Irrespective of how the fight with Danis goes, KSI will have to look in the mirror and examine the level of training needed to stand against Jake Paul.

KSI versus Dillon Danis, 14th January

The X0004, under the auspices of KSI’s boxing promotion company Misfits Boxing and live-streamers DAZN, will have KSI taking on Dillon at OVO Arena, Wembley, on 14th January.

After two back-to-back wins on 27th August this year, KSI is yet to return to the ring. Meanwhile, he has been busy with promotion-related engagements. On the other hand, Dillion Danis fought his last professional fight in 2019. Still under contract with MMA promoter Bellator, Dillon’s out-of-the-ring antics hold everyone spellbound.

Videos and clips of the weigh-in with KSI at Texas, where he punched the latter and received one on his face by Jake Paul’s sparring pal Anthony Taylor, are going bumper.

All roads lead to Jake Paul

Now ‘Who’s Next?’ follows as the questions on an upcoming bout seem to settle. That KSI might end up facing Jake Paul has been doing the rounds for some time.

The pair of brothers, Jake and his elder brother Logan Paul on the one hand and KSI and his younger brother Deji on the other, have beaten their bitter rivalry into a reticent alliance. Incidentally, Logan and KSI are business partners.

Given their new bonding, the talks on a future fight among themselves vacillated between yes and no.

On 27th October, KSI’s manager, Mams Taylor, tweeted that the two will be fighting sometime in 2023.

There were rumors of KSI taking on UFC fighter Nate Diaz as well. Then, in September this year, KSI reached out to fans and confirmed that his next fight would take place in the US. Later, he let the fans throw the dice. He wanted them to suggest a few names he should consider for upcoming fights.

Tyron Woodley topped the list of suggestions, followed by Dillon Danis, Slim Albaher, and Mikhail Varshavski.

The new revelations will bring KSI back to where it started. Time will tell who the fans pick and suggest going against him. What should be the alternatives for KSI after Dillion, in your opinion?
