KSI put four former UFC fighters, including one Hall of Famer, on blast for turning him down before Dillon Danis obliged.

KSI tried to fight four former UFC legends in his next boxing bout before settling on Dillon Danis as his opponent.

Dillon Danis was KSI's last resort for a boxing return at Misfits Boxing 21. KSI and Danis most recently boxed in separate matches against Tommy Fury and Logan Paul, respectively, in October 2023. Each lost on the night and took the following year off to weigh their options.

Oleksandr Usyk is interested in fighting one of the UFC's biggest stars. Usyk retained his WBC, WBA and WBO heavyweight titles when he defeated Tyson Fury by unanimous decision this past December in Saudi Arabia.
