Despite being inactive from combat sports since 2019, El Jefe has competed in one of MMA’s premier promotions and also trained former UFC lightweight champion, Conor McGregor. However, Danis’ career has seen a downfall due to the regular controversies he manages to get himself into. Now, Danis will be looking to put himself back on the map following this bout but it might not be looking too great for El Jefe after he posted a training video.
In the video, Danis can be seen training in BJJ despite having a boxing match right around the corner. Moreover, he even used the video to mock KSI as he tried to suggest that he could beat the British YouTuber without actually training in boxing. “Great training today for my upcoming bout with @KSI” he wrote

Moreover, one fan even took shots at ‘El Jefe’ as he criticized his takedown claiming that Danis’ opponent was much smaller than him.
You’re having a boxing match and not mma and you’re flexing on a scruffy takedown on a guy that looks like he weighs atleast 20lbs lighter than you? 🤡

One fan even trolled Danis praising his jab and boxing training, which he was certainly not doing.
This is very good boxing training. I like that Jab keep it up 👍

Another fan predicted what will happen if Danis lost the fight. He stated that Danis would make excuses after getting knocked out by KSI in the match.

Moreover, as KSI seems to step up his level after every fight, and Danis not competing for almost 4 years, this bout could be very one-sided if the latter keeps training like this.
