Misfits Boxing have officially confirmed that KSI vs Dillon Danis is off.

British Youtuber-turned-boxer KSI was set to finally settle his differences with controversial fighter Danis in a Misfits Boxing event in Manchester on March 29.

The pair had initially been booked to fight each other back in January 2023, but Danis pulled out of the bout just one week prior to the event.

And now, fans will have to wait even longer to see the two rivals fight as it has been officially confirmed that their fight has once again been postponed.

In a video released on his social media accounts, KSI revealed the fight was off as he has been struggling with illness.

He said: "Hey everyone, I'm gonna try make this quick. Me versus Danis is just not going to happen March 29th, man.

"I've tried my hardest but my body has legit just given up. I'm currently in bed taking antibiotics just trying to recover.

"But I'm struggling, I'm coughing up greenish, yellow s*** all the time. My sinuses are hurting to the point where I need ibuprofen every day."


He continued: "The tensions headaches right here that I'm getting are more painful than you can imagine. I'm using Sudafed daily.

"Basically, I'm f***ed. I've been ill for almost three weeks and it's just not got better.

"I've had doctors come around to try and decipher what is going on. Honestly, I've never been this ill for this long in my life and I hate it,"

It's not yet known exactly what the future plans for the fight with KSI and Danis are, but an official statement put out by Misfits Boxing, appeared to confirm that the entire event would now be postponed, rather than finding an alternative main event for the card.

It read: "Due to an illness to KSI, Misfits Boxing Unfinished Business, scheduled for March 29th in Manchester, has been postponed.

"A further update will be issued next week, including a new date for the event"

After KSI brutally taunted Danis for pulling out of their previous fight back in 2023, Danis returned the favour by posting a series of digs on social media.

Reacting to the news, Danis wrote on X: "Hahahahahahahahaha p**** KSI"

In a follow-up post, he added: "I remember my first cold."

Elsewhere on the card, Darren Till was set to return to the ring following his spectacular knockout victory over Anthony Taylor to face fellow former UFC fighter Darren Stewart.

Roman Fury, brother of British boxing legend Tyson, was also set to compete on the card against American influencer Chase DeMoor.
