JJ Olatunji, better known as KSI, is set to exchange punches against the MMA fighter Dillon Danis on January 14, 2023, at the OVO Arena Wembley, London. Further, this boxing showdown would be part of the MF & DAZN: X Series 004.

There is already a lot of hype around this fight. Despite that, there have been questions about why he’s fighting Danis.

KSI recently uploaded a video, “Why I’m Fighting Dillion Danis January 14th 2023,” to share his reason for fighting Danis.

KSI Olatunji is a famous English YouTuber. But aside from being a succesful content creator, he is also an excellent rapper. However, he also tried his hands at boxing later on and even saw success there. The 28-year-old is undefeated in the boxing ring so far.

KSI reveals why he is fighting Dillon Danis

In the video, he addressed that people would never be satisfied with whom he fights. He claims if he goes for active fighters, fans call them “trash“. Then again, if he wants to exchange punches against a boxing legend, fans would claim that he’s facing an old fighter.
