Now, the fight has become personal after KSI crossed the line before the press event even started. Heated exchanges between fighters are common before matches, but physical aggression ignites chaos and takes everything to another level.
An unexpected slap for Danis

Dillon Danis was furious at actions. He showed frustration and desperation for not being able to respond as he wanted. Now, their fight has become even more personal, given their history as rivals beyond the ring.
Why did KSI act that way?
The rivalry between KSI and Dillon Danis is nothing new. KSI’s reaction seemed like revenge, as Danis had previously thrown coffee at him before a fight that was later canceled.
In January 2023, both fighters were supposed to face off at Wembley Arena, where Danis was set to make his boxing debut. However, the fight was canceled as Danis wasn’t ready in terms of weight and physical preparation.
On February 4 of this year, the cruiserweight bout between KSI and the MMA fighter was officially announced. Now, after the intense press conference altercation, the fight is set to be even more personal and explosive.
