KSI (4-1) and Danis (0-1) were initially supposed to fight in January 2023 in a six-round exhibition bout at 178 pounds. However, Danis withdrew from the bout 10 days prior and was replaced by gaming streamer FaZe Temperrr (Thomas Oliveira).

KSI and Dillon Danis exchanged taunts on social media following the announcement of their Misfits Boxing fight.

Misfits Boxing announced Tuesday that a rebooked boxing grudge match between KSI and Danis is set to headline Misfits Boxing 21 on March 29 in Manchester, England's AO Arena. The bout will be contested at 185 pounds.
