KSI faces Danis after a previously booked opponent fell out

Though Dillon Danis pulled out of their prior fight, he will now be stepping up to fill a vacancy left by a previously intended opponent for KSI. The 31-year-old was initially scheduled to clash on this card with Wayne Bridge who made his name as a Premier League footballer.

However, these two had a face-to-face interaction on Jan. 18 at the Manchester-based Co-Op Live Arena that created a domino effect. The influencer boxer made some comments toward the 44-year-old soccer vet regarding John Terry being romantically involved with an ex of Bridge.

The statement kicked off a barrage of insults that saw the men needing to be pulled apart inside the ring with Bridge announcing he was pulling out of the fight two days after the episode.

The footballer mentioned that he had expected to face criticism. But Bridge felt like the comments made were deeply personal, affected multiple families, and that he has no desire to be involved in exchanges like that. The YouTuber had also posted in a tweet thread from Helwani's post announcing the Danis bout where the PRIME beverage figurehead indicated his excitement.

Both men will soon be throwing punches instead of throwing drinks in the culmination of a rivalry that has been years in the making.
