This is not the first time that Tyron Woodley has called out the British entertainer for ducking him. He has on multiple occasions accused KSI of dodging him, most notably on Jake Paul’s podcast.

Tyron Woodley claims KSI didn’t execute his end of the contract

Following Dillon Danis’ withdrawal from the fight, noted MMA journalist Ariel Helwani posted a clip of him predicting this exact same scenario back in November 2022. Interestingly, former UFC champ, Tyron Woodley commented on the post, calling KSI a joke for ducking him.

“KSI is the definition of a f’n joke that ain’t even funny” read Woodley’s comment.

The 40-year-old American in a tweet also claimed that the British YouTube star did not respond to his call, suggesting that KSI ducked a fight with him to face an easier opponent.

“You a whole b***h! KSI No one picked up the phone to execute the contract you sent me. Needed NO NOTICE! Temperrr You a G! All Love to you. You my brother! Whip this ho**s a**” read Woodley‘s tweet.

FaZe Temperrr is to replace Dillon Danis as KSI’s opponent

After the disappointing news of Dillon Danis backing out of the fight came forth, KSI and his team didn’t waste too long before finding a replacement. In a Tweet from his official account, KSI announced fellow content creator FaZe Temperrr as the new opponent.

Temperrr, also a part of the influencer boxing scene, finds himself an opportunity to headline a main event against probably one of the biggest names in the Industry. The co-founder of the FaZe clan has a record of 2-1 in boxing and last fought in a KSI undercard held in August.
