This coming directly from Danis is a big deal. But, before he signed off, Danis left another major hint about his future.

Boxing star Dillon Danis revealed that his genuine interest still lies in MMA. Because the combat sport allows him to choke and grapple, whereas it’s not the same for boxing. Therefore, Danis feels that he will return to MMA at some point.

‘El Jefe’ said, “I haven’t decided yet what I want to do. Stick with the boxing or just go back to MMA.”

But I miss doing you know full fighting…” “(Boxing) it’s not for me, you know. I’d rather just go back and start choking people out.”
