KSI and Dillon Danis took their heated rivalry to another level ahead of their headline fight at MF & DAZN: X Series 21. The two will meet in the ring at Manchester’s AO Arena on March 29, but tensions boiled over early when KSI slapped Danis with a pancake at the end of their press conference.
Heated Press Conference Ends in Chaos
The verbal sparring between KSI and Danis escalated throughout the media event. Insults were exchanged, but things turned physical when KSI, in a nod to Shrove Tuesday, smacked Danis across the face with a pancake. Security quickly intervened as the confrontation threatened to spiral out of control.
This moment echoed Chris Eubank Jr.’s recent egg-smashing stunt against Conor Benn, signaling a growing trend of pre-fight antics designed to stir up drama. While some saw it as a calculated attempt to sell the fight, others questioned whether Danis would respond in the ring.
The Fight’s Stakes
Beyond the theatrics, this fight holds major implications for both fighters. KSI has built a strong presence in the crossover boxing scene, while Danis, known for his grappling background in MMA, still has much to prove inside the ring. A win for KSI further cements his reputation, while a victory for Danis would silence critics who doubt his boxing skills.
With the event titled “Unfinished Business”, the fight serves as a grudge match between two outspoken personalities eager to settle their differences under the lights.
