KSI and Dillon Danis agree car park bet ahead of YouTube boxing fight

KSI and Dillon Danis have agreed to settle their rivalry in a car park if their YouTube boxing fight ends in a draw.

YouTube star KSI - real name JJ Olatunji - will return to the ring on January 14 at the OVO Wembley Arena when he takes on long-term rival Danis. KSI returned to the ring in August when he defeated two fighters in one night - rapper Swarmz and professional fighter Luis Pineda.

Tensions have already been high between the pair with Danis hitting the British star's hat off before throwing coffee everywhere in a heated exchange at the last Misfits Boxing event. Now KSI and the American star have agreed to a fresh wager during a new face-off which involved a series of heated verbal disagreements.

The pair were asked by the presenter of the face-off what would happen if the meeting ends in a draw, to which Danis told his rival: If the fight ends in a draw, me and him are going to go outside the arena and settle the scores in the car park. How about that?" KSI immediately responded, shouting: "I'm down."

Danis then ended the exchange by threatening: "I'm going to take your a*** down and give you a wedgie." The pair have already come face-to-face on multiple occasions with the first altercation threatening to mar the previous event in Texas headlined by Deen The Great and Walid Sharks.

After the altercation, Danis found himself the victim of a car park attack where he was punched by Jake Paul's sparring partner Anthony Taylor during a wild ruckus outside the event. Ironically, he could end up in the exact same spot with KSI if the pair do indeed decide to take matters into their own hands.

KSI has faced criticism for electing to choose Danis as his upcoming rival over alternative options which included undefeated boxer Joe Fournier and former UFC champion Tyron Woodley. However, the social media star does not expect fans to be satisfied with his choice of opponent until he settles his dispute with Paul.

Danis is coming to my hometown," KSI said during a YouTube video. "I know you lot will not be happy until I fight Jake Paul. If I was to fight Woodley you guys would have said 'Jake's already done that, that's old news'. 'Woodley hasn't won since 2018 no-one wants to see that.' Alright let me fight Joe Fournier. 'No we don't want Joe Fournier, I don't care if he is 9-0.

"'Have you seen the people he fights, they are trash cans, also he is inactive we want someone who is active for you to fight'. Alright s*** then let me fight Floyd Mayweather. 'We don't even want that, Logan and Deji have already done that. Besides Mayweather is old as f***, he basically weighs half of you, no-one wants to see that'. You guys will just not be happy until I fight Jake Paul."
