KSI to Face Danis After Bridge Withdrawal

KSI, the YouTuber-turned-boxer, is set to face Dillon Danis on March 29 after his initial opponent, Wayne Bridge, pulled out due to personal taunts. KSI had attempted to arrange fights with several former UFC stars, including Nate Diaz, Tony Ferguson, Donald Cerrone, and Jorge Masvidal, but all declined for various reasons, including UFC contract restrictions. Despite these setbacks, KSI is determined to demonstrate his boxing prowess and has expressed a desire to prove himself against opponents previously faced by his rival, Jake Paul. The fight against Danis had been initially scheduled for 2023 but was postponed due to Danis withdrawing from the match. KSI's pursuit of high-profile opponents highlights his ambition to be taken seriously in the boxing world, despite criticisms of the quality of his past opponents.
