Perhaps to no one’s shock, Dillon Danis pulled out of his boxing match with KSI at the last minute. The YouTuber’s manager speculated that it was simply because Danis was “underprepared.”
Danis has had far more impactful pursuits than actual fights, and the 29-year-old hasn’t competed since turning in a 3-3 journeyman almost three years ago. An uncompetitive and unattractive online persona, Danis understandably came under a lot of fire for pulling out of another match.
Interestingly, he’s been thrashed by boxers, MMA fighters, grapplers, and YouTubers alike for this latest blunder.
No one is surprised by Dillon Danis

100000% Danis couldn’t gain weight because he was fat. On top of that, the training videos he posts are terrible for his hands.Being a mental dwarf, he pulled his feet cold
