KSI’s next opponent is CONFIRMED after Wayne Bridge pulled out of crossover boxing fight – with YouTuber set to face MMA star in the ring

KSI will face MMA star Dillon Danis in his next boxing fight, after Wayne Bridge pulled out of his bout with the Youtuber-turned-boxer.

The former Chelsea defender, 44, was set to fight KSI in Manchester on March 29 but he dramatically withdrew from the event in a statement posted on Monday.

This came after the social media sensation aimed a jibe at Bridge after Misfits Boxing 20 on Saturday night, regarding his ex-girlfriend’s alleged affair with John Terry.

Now, KSI is set to face Danis – who previously fought Logan Paul on a Misfits card and lost – inside the squared circle on March 29.

His bout against Paul was heavily debated after the MMA star barely threw a punch and, more often than not, looked to land a takedown in the boxing fight.

Danis and KSI previously clashed at a Misfits press conference, when the American tossed coffee over his British counterpart after a brief face-to-face. 

Danis also made headlines in the build-up to his fight with Paul back in 2023 after he took aim at his opponent’s partner, Nina Agdal, in a series of posts online.

The American ex-MMA fighter is best known for training alongside UFC icon Conor McGregor but has a history in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and other martial arts.

The cocky competitor has more than two million followers on Instagram and a 100 percent win record in the U.S. Welterweight MMA division.
