Joe Rogan questions KSI pulling out of Dillon Danis fight

In a recent episode of the JRE Fight Companion, Joe Rogan praised KSI’s boxing skills and suggested that the YouTuber should have taken the bout despite his health issues, emphasizing his superior boxing technique compared to Dillon Danis.

The UFC commentator said:

“How does KSI pull out against Dillon Danis? Dillon’s not a boxer. KSI is a pretty good boxer, he’s legit. It’s crazy that he would [pull out]. You’d think he could not even be at his best and take that fight.”
