KSI vs. Dillon Danis postponed due to illness

Warning: Video contains coarse language

KSI has been forced to withdraw from his March 29 boxing match against Dillon Danis in Manchester, England, due to an illness, Misfits Boxing announced Friday.

The event will be rescheduled for a later date.

"A further update will be issued next week, including a new date for the event," Misfits Boxing said in a statement.

This was the second time a matchup between KSI, a YouTube star turned prizefighter, and Danis, an MMA veteran, has been called off. They were initially scheduled to fight in January 2023, but Danis pulled out less than two weeks before the event.

KSI shed some light on his illness in a video posted to social media.

"My body has legit just given up," KSI said. "I'm currently in bed, taking antibiotics, trying to recover. But I'm struggling. ... I've been ill for almost three weeks, and it's just not gotten better. I've had doctors come around to try to decipher what is going on. And honestly, I've never been this ill for this long in my life."

KSI, 4-1 (1 NC) as a professional boxer, was looking to get back on track from a unanimous decision loss to Tommy Fury in October 2023.

Danis, meanwhile, was set to compete for the first time since suffering a disqualification loss to Logan Paul in his boxing debut on the KSI-Fury undercard. Danis holds a 2-0 record in pro MMA but hasn't competed in that sport since 2019.

"I want to move the fight to another day, because I still want to knock out Dillion Danis," KSI said. "I didn't train this hard for nothing."

A fight between UFC veterans Darren Till and Darren Stewart was scheduled to co-headline the KSI-Danis card.
