Dillon Danis took to social media to vent his frustration after KSI was spotted at a concert on the night their fight had been scheduled to take place.

Following back and forth trash talk online, the warring rivals were set to meet inside the ring as the headline bout for the Misfits Boxing event in Manchester on March 29.

However, just over a week before fight night, KSI announced that he had been forced to withdraw from the showdown, claiming that his body had ‘given up’ following weeks of illness.

As a result the card was postponed in its entirety, with Misfits claiming that an update on when the rescheduled event will take place will be issued sometime this week.

Despite being unable to compete on Saturday, KSI was spotted in the background of an Instagram story posted by perennial heavyweight contender Derek Chisora.

There, the 31-year-old could be seen in the VIP section attending a concert by American R&B star Usher as part of his ten-night residency at the O2 Arena.

Danis took to X after the clip was circulated widely on social media and cast doubt on the severity of KSI’s condition

Sharing a clip of Chisora’s story to his X account Danis accused KSI of faking his illness to withdraw from the fight.

He wrote: ‘You can’t make this s*** up. 

‘@KSI faked the sniffles. He’s a scared little b****. I was told he couldn’t get out of bed, and he’s out on the night of the fight? WTF.’

A pioneer in influencer boxing, KSI is one of the premier attractions in the sphere and suffered his first defeat inside the ring during his most recent outing – a six round decision loss to Tommy Fury in October 2023.

After an extended hiatus from boxing to work on his burgeoning music career, the social media star announced in January that he would face former England footballer Wayne Bridge.

However, Bridge withdrew from the clash just days later, claiming KSI had ‘crossed a line’ with his comments about his ex-partner French underwear model Vanessa Perroncel.

KSI then claimed he was in talks with several prominent MMA fighters before agreeing to face Danis, a former submission grappling champion most notable for his association with Conor McGregor.
