The long-lost rivalry has gotten some life, KSI and Dillon Danis are all set to lock horns on 29th March at the AO Arena, Manchester. Both fighters were initially meant to fight in 2023, but Dillon Danis withdrew from that event because of a lack of preparation and not having a proper coaching team. KSI will be coming out of his first-ever defeat which came up against Tommy Fury and on the flip side, Dillon Danis is coming out of a loss against Logan Paul. This could be JJ’s warm-up match to climb his way to get a rematch with Tommy Fury.
Both fighters have no respect for one another. Their animosity is strong and have created a scene quite a few times.

Public’s opinion
Most fans and boxing experts can’t fully comprehend this match-up and are labelling KSI a hypocrite for making fun of Jake Paul because of his history of mostly selecting MMA fighters as an opponent. In this case, JJ is doing something very similar. As far as match expectations are concerned, the odds are stacked against Dillon Danis after the spectators got to see his performance as a boxer. KSI is explosive but he lacks boxing professionalism and always gets himself involved in clinches. The fight could end in a knockout, or it could last till the very last minute but with pale action.
When i found out i had the opportunity to fight him, i had to take it up.
