KSI will finally make his sensational return to the ring next month for the first time in nearly two years when he takes on MMA star Dillon Danis
KSI will finally settle his bitter feud inside the ring with long-time rival, former Bellator star, Dillon Danis next month.
The pair were due to go head-to-head in January 2023, but the American MMA fighter pulled out of the contest just a week before the event. YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI hasn’t fought since losing to Tommy Fury back in October 2023. He was due to take on Slim and Anthony Taylor in a two-on-one bout last year, but withdrew after suffering an injury.
Next month’s contest was supposed to see KSI face former Premier League footballer Wayne Bridge, but the ex-Chelsea defender pulled out after controversial comments made by ‘The Nightmare’ in the build-up. Danis does have some experience inside the squared-circle having fought KSI’s business partner, Logan Paul. The bout was marred by controversy after the MMA fighter was disqualified in the final seconds of the clash after attempting a takedown. And so, here’s everything you need to know about the fights…
When is KSI vs Dillon Danis?
The fight will take place at the AO Arena in Manchester and will likely start at around 5pm UK time (12pm ET / 11am CT / 9am PT). Dillon Danis is set to make the walk to the ring first at around 10pm UK time (5pm ET / 4pm CT / 3pm PT) with KSI set to follow immediately after. The two stars will then touch gloves just after 10.20pm UK time before the first bell sounds. The fight should not start later than this but could be brought forward if the undercard fights are completed earlier than expected.

KSI: “Now ladies and gentlemen, I get my hands on him for real. Obviously, Misfits 3 I was meant to fight him and then he pulled out and I had to fight Temper instead. That brother ain’t pulling out this time because that boy is getting sued by Logan Paul and obviously he needs to pay for the court proceedings. So he needs all the money he can get and you know what? I’m quite excited to get to be the first person to knock out Dillon Danis. I think it’s going to be a fantastic day when it happens.”
