Ex-Bellator fighter and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ace Dillon Danis will settle his beef with YouTube sensation KSI on January 14 inside the squared circle. The bout is set to take place at the Misfits X DAZN 4 boxing event at the OVO arena in Wembley.

Despite being inactive from combat sports since 2019, El Jefe has competed in one of MMA’s premier promotions and also trained former UFC lightweight champion, Conor McGregor. However, Danis’ career has seen a downfall due to the regular controversies he manages to get himself into. Now, Danis will be looking to put himself back on the map following this bout but it might not be looking too great for El Jefe after he posted a training video.
