In a recent open interview with TMZ Sports, KSI discussed Dillon Danis‘ withdrawal. When there were only a few days left before the fight, Danis refused to compete against KSI. The event was expected to take place on January 14 at London’s Wembley Arena. Following that, Mams Taylor, the Misfits’ promoter, made a startling announcement. Danis‘ refusal to engage in a fight is being caused, according to Taylor, by his lack of preparation for the ring. KSI was so enraged by Conor McGregor‘s buddy’s explanation that he attacked him with harsh remarks.

KSI on Dillon Danis’ Ban

The content creator saidNo, I want him to go into irrelevancy. I don’t want anything to do with him anymore. He’s banned from Misfits. I don’t ever want to see him anywhere near Misfits. I’m never gonna fight him, and if I see him, I’ll probably slap him in the face for all the disrespect he gave me throughout this buildup.” His words clearly showed how Danis’ pullout has escalated to a very serious level.

The fact that most of these dramatic events occurred after KSI called out McGregor is one of the intriguing factors. McGregor continues to be in the spotlight despite the fact that it’s been a while since he made his wild presence in the octagon. The audience felt his authority more than ever since he was the subject of a lot of news; even when he is absent from the fights.

KSI too contributed to making headlines about ‘The Notorious’. The boxer has stated that he wants to fight against the UFC superstar Conor McGregor. Currently, he is looking forward to his bout with Jake Paul; after which he called out McGregor for a fight.

The upcoming bouts

After Danis withdrew, KSI quickly declared that FaZe Temperrr would take Danis’ place. Temperrr, on the other hand, was initially scheduled to meet a mystery opponent who would be revealed on fight night. KSI expressed his fervent belief that Temperrr is a worthy opponent for him. Nevertheless, he is pleased to face a tough fighter who is superior to many others; compared to the ones who only care about flaunting themselves on social networking sites.

KSI also discussed the taunts Danis had directed against him. Danis did not attend the December 15 launch press conference. It was reported to the public and the media that he was absent due to influenza infection. It was thought that his refusal to do so was extremely arrogant on his part.

Although at the moment, the audience has no choice but to wait and see who will fight against each other in the future; because there are still many details about future bouts that need to be revealed.
