KSI Postpones Dillon Danis Boxing Fight Due to Illness; New Date to Be Announced

KSI will have to wait a while longer to settle his rivalry with Dillon Danis in the boxing ring.

Misfits Boxing announced on Friday that the Unfinished Business event headlined by KSI vs. Danis on March 29 in Manchester, England, has been postponed due to an illness to KSI. The promotion will announce a new date for the event next week.

KSI released a video explaining the situation, saying that he's been ill for "almost three weeks" and he's "never been this ill for this long in my life." He apologized to his fans, Misfits Boxing and DAZN while making it clear that he wants the fight to be rescheduled "because I still want to knock out Dillon Danis, and I didn't train this hard for nothing."

Per MMA Fighting's Mike Heck, this marks the second time that a scheduled fight between KSI and Danis was called off. The two of them were set to face each other in January 2023 before Danis withdrew from the bout.

Both KSI and Danis have been out of the boxing ring for over a year. Neither of them has competed since The Prime Card in October 2023, where KSI lost to Tommy Fury and Danis lost to Logan Paul.

KSI and Danis were together earlier this month for a pre-fight press conference to promote the event. During their faceoff, they exchanged words before KSI slapped Danis hard in the face, forcing security to intervene.

It's clear that KSI and Danis are motivated to settle their differences, so they will likely meet later this year once KSI has recovered.
