The boxing bout between the YouTuber turned boxer, KSI, and Conor McGregor’s ex-Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor, Dillon Danis, is gaining massive hype among fight fans. This showdown has been scheduled for 14 January 2023 and has a lot of fans awaiting it eagerly. It all started off with a bitter altercation between the two, which had Danis smacking KSI’s face with the coffee he was carrying. Following that, he was punched by one of KSI’s mates, who was mad at Danis’ hostility towards KSI. The two also fired shots at each other online before eventually agreeing to settle it inside KSI’s ‘Misfits Boxing’ ring.

Recently, the press conference of the coveted bout took place. But, it turned out to be a disappointing venture for KSI and every other fan of this bout, as Danis refused to show up. This ‘no-show’ action brought in massive criticism for Danis from a lot of fans awaiting their showdown. The noted YouTuber, ‘Zerkaa’, also talked about this unlikely action from Danis and begged him to at least show up at the fight night. Danis was apparently annoyed by Zerkaa’s sarcastic plea. He vented his opinion about it via an Instagram story. This, in turn, got one of Zerkaa’s fans enraged. He decided to ping Danis up with a threatening DM.

Zerkaa also implied that Danis had got enough time to prepare for this KSI bout, and must show up to the bout. He said, You know KSI, so you could train and you don’t fu**in show up. Jesus Christ, wasting my time, wasting everybody’s time. At least tell us in advance that I know and I ain’t going. You know”.

A lot might agree that Zerkaa’s entire statement about Danis was a sarcastic one which Danis might not like.

‘Mystic Mac’s’ mate, Danis, took offense at Zerkaa’s words and put up an Instagram story with a snap of Zerkaa. His caption displayed a few infamous words which were also previously heard from Will Smith. It read, “keep my name out your mouth @zerkaa”.

But one of Zerkaa’s fans was angered by Danis’ useless hostility towards the YouTuber. He decided to threaten Danis with a DM which read, “You better not talk like that to Zerkaa, or I’ll fu**ikng find you and fu**ing murder you”. However, this DM failed to serve the intended purpose.
