KSI and Dillon Danis have engaged in numerous pre-fight antics leading up to their boxing match. Misfits Boxing has now released behind-the-scenes footage from their March 4 faceoff, which culminated in KSI slapping Danis with a pancake.
In the newly released video, KSI is heard threatening Danis, saying he will hit him repeatedly and annoy him. Danis, while grinning, appeared unfazed by KSI’s threats. However, he couldn’t ignore the subsequent pancake slap. KSI swiftly struck Danis across the face with a pancake, causing the two to be separated.
Following the slap, KSI repeatedly shouted, “Happy Pancake Day!”
The rivalry between KSI and Danis began in 2023 when they were initially scheduled to box at Wembley Stadium. Danis withdrew from the fight citing inadequate preparation, and KSI instead fought and defeated FaZe Temperrr.
KSI’s last victory was against FaZe Temperrr. His subsequent fight against Joe Fournier was ruled a no-contest after KSI unintentionally knocked Fournier out with an elbow. After that, KSI suffered his first defeat against Tommy Fury.
Danis, known for his jiu-jitsu background and a 2-0 record in Bellator MMA, has only competed once since 2019. His return was a boxing match against Logan Paul, which was largely uneventful. Paul won by disqualification after Danis attempted a takedown and choke in the sixth round.
KSI and Danis are scheduled to fight in the main event of Misfits Boxing 21 in Manchester, England.
