Fighter Dillon Danis is set to make his return to the boxing ring, where he will battle KSI, followed by a matchup with UFC fighter Tony Ferguson.
Danis is scheduled to face KSI at the Misfits Boxing event, but he claims he is barely training for the fight, believing he can defeat the YouTuber without much preparation. For now, Danis says his focus is on preparing for his battle with Ferguson.
“I don’t even have to train for this scrub, to be honest with you. I could beat him twice on Sunday. He’s easy. I have a fight right after him with Tony Ferguson, a UFC champion. He’s a way easier fight,” He said at the press conference.
Although Danis insists his focus is on Tony Ferguson, he has been training with Alex Pereira.
Danis says he’s learned a lot from Pereira and is confident that both of them will win their upcoming fights.
“I like to be in the pocket and throw,” Danis told BloodyElbow. “That’s how me and Pereira have been sparring, if you watch the footage. But these guys [KSI and Logan Paul] don’t want to engage; they run around the ring and circle. KSI’s best move is doing star jumps or some s—.”
“Alex is a beast. He’s one of the strongest people I’ve ever felt in my life. So, I’m excited to see him knock out Ankalaev. I hate Dagestanis — not all of them, but a lot of them, to be honest. Alex has shown me a lot, and he’s just a f—ing animal who I’m happy to train with,” Danis added.
