A fight between KSI and Dillon Danis in the cards?
KSI recently revealed that he would unveil his next boxing opponent during the day of the Misfits Boxing 3 event. It is unlikely that Dillon will be the one he will mention since the former was urging the UK social media star to sign a contract during their face-to-face. It seems to indicate that there have been no formal talks between them.
Following the scrap, JJ took to Twitter to speak about the altercation. He said:
"You a whole b*tch @dillondanis"
He made a second tweet stating:
"I’m the wrong guy to f**k with @dillondanis"
Dillon is yet to make any comment regarding their scrap, however, he was seen retweeting the clip that was posted by DAZN Boxing.
