KSI Steals a Page Out of Tyson Fury’s Book at Dillon Danis Press Conference

British Youtube sensation KSI will be seen squaring off against MMA fighter Dillon Danis in January. KSI and Danis were supposed to be at a press conference for their upcoming bout. KSI reached the venue in London, however, his opponent did not show up. The Briton had to attend the event by himself. Coincidentally, Tyson Fury experienced the same situation when his opponent failed to show up for the press conference.

Tyson Fury fought Dillian Whyte in front of 94,000 spectators at Wembley Stadium in April. However, during the opening press conference for their battle, Whyte did not show up at the venue. Eventually, Fury had to do an imaginary face-off with Whyte’s poster.

When asked about his opponent’s absence in the press conference, Fury mentioned that it is going to hamper Whyte’s legacy. He said that it was a good fight, and years later, there would be no photographs or magazines to look at. 

KSI shares disappointment for Dillon Danis being absent for the face-off 

Conor McGregor’s teammate Dillon Danis is looking forward to making his boxing debut against KSI. He has been a Bellator MMA champion before. He preferred training for his fight rather than making a 7-hour long trip to London for the press conference. 

KSI was quizzed about Danis’ absence and he said, “In terms of Dillon Danis not being here at the moment I think it’s quite disappointing, disrespectful to me and everyone who’s here expecting him to show up. But it’s not something I haven’t seen before, same thing happened with Alex Wassabi.”

Fans are eager to see KSI and Danis square off inside the ring. The two have been into altercations before, which has made this clash even more interesting.

What is next for KSI? 

The British Youtuber has been inactive in the boxing ring since his last fight with Logan Paul. However, he recently made a stunning comeback by defeating two opponents in one night. After his fight with Danis, there is another exciting fight that might happen in the near future.

KSI and Jake Paul have previously encountered many forks in the road. They constantly criticize one another online. Recent events, however, indicate that they are prepared to resolve their differences in the ring. This battle is anticipated to happen in 2023, but how things turn out will have to wait.
