To revive their canceled bout from two years ago, KSI and Dillon Danis have reportedly agreed to meet on March 29 inside the boxing ring.
After years of growth, Misfits has overcome the stigma of being a circus and established itself as an entertaining platform for boxing. The promotion has hosted many big names, and one of its biggest is ready to make his return.
Considered one of the pillars of influencer boxing, KSI has had some success in the ring. Despite his positive start in the sport, the British YouTuber came up short against Tommy Fury in his last outing and now wants to put that defeat behind him.
According to reports, KSI vs. Dillon Danis has been agreed for March 29 at Misfits 21. The bout has been confirmed to take place at 185 lbs and will unfold at the AO Arena in Manchester, England.
The pair were originally scheduled to meet on January 14, 2023, but the controversial Danis withdrew, canceling the clash.
Now, two years later, the pair will finally collide in the ring on the Misfits 21 card that’s being themed ‘Unfinished Business’.

Retired soccer player Wayne Bridge welcomed the opportunity to get into the ring with KSI, but a personal comment the YouTube star made about his ex-wife forced Bridge to withdraw.
“I feel like what was said on Saturday crossed the line,” Bridge said on Instagram as he withdrew from the fight.
“These are deeply personal comments that affect mine and other families involved in the situation. I’m a family man first and my priority is protecting them.”
Bridge continued.
“I will no longer be fighting on 29th March. I’m still looking out for my next big challenge and have some exciting things coming up in 2025.”
