“I Didn’t Really Care About Fighting Him”: With Days Left In Logan Paul Fight, Dillon Danis Details Why He Pulled Out From Fight Against KSI More Than Year Ago

In a surprising turn of events, Dillon Danis, the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter, recently shed light on his decision to back out of a highly anticipated showdown with YouTuber KSI. Ahead of his boxing debut against Logan Paul on the 14th of this month, Danis has been on the front page of the news for the wrong reasons.

Drama continually surrounds him. Danis had been set to fight against KSI, on January 14th of this year. But in a shocking twist, he pulled out of the fight. Consequently, a Lie Detector interview was conducted before his boxing debut promotion. As Saturday approaches rapidly, ‘El Jefe’ faces some hard-hitting questions.

The internet was buzzing with speculation, but in an exclusive interview with DAZN, Danis got candid, revealing the raw truth behind his withdrawal.

Dillon Danis defends his credibility

Danis minced no words, dismissing KSI as a non-entity in the fighting world. “I just think KSI is a nobody which was a lose-lose for me,” Danis asserted. “Beating him is like, who cares? I didn’t really care about fighting him at all.”

According to Danis, the absence of a compelling storyline was a crucial factor in his decision. His intense history with the Paul brothers, particularly Logan Paul. KSI lacked the credibility that would make the fight meaningful. Danis emphasized that KSI, primarily known as a video gamer, was not a real fighter, making the prospect of the match unappealing.

“I think he’s a loser. He’s not a real fighter; he’s a video gamer. It brought nothing to me,” Danis explained. “Logan’s actually boxed Floyd Mayweather, so he has a little bit of credibility. At least it’s better.”

Mams Taylor On Danis Pull Out

Reflecting on the cause of Danis’ withdrawal, Misfits boxing promoter Mams Taylor clarified that weight issues and Danis’ lack of preparation were at the core of the problem. A disagreement arose regarding the rehydration clause, and Danis has been unresponsive to Taylor’s attempts at communication.

According to Sporting News, Danis skipped the pre-fight press conference, leading to rumors that he was handling things independently. Taylor disclosed that the primary reason, as per their explanation, is his lack of preparation. He was without a coach and might be struggling with weight even though rehydration isn’t a concern.

Taylor further cited that finding Danis a suitable support system was a challenge, and there were other factors in play as well. Feeling disheartened, Taylor found it unfortunate that Danis failed to reciprocate the same respect extended to him. Taylor also observed Danis’ apparent embarrassment about the situation, leaving his potential statements uncertain.

Moreover, the decision not to fight KSI questions Danis’ focus on credibility and genuine competition
