KSI and Dillon Danis organise street meeting but MMA star fails to show up

Dillon Danis sent KSI an address for a street meeting but the YouTube star claims he failed to show up.

KSI - real name JJ Olatunji - was set to meet bitter rival Danis in a boxing clash earlier this year as the headline act for one of his new Misfits Boxing cards. However the British star was forced to replace him with FaZe Temperrr after Danis pulled out of the contest at short notice, which drew huge criticism from fans.

Now 'The Nightmare' has his third boxing win in emphatic fashion over Temperrr, and has turned his back on ever offering Danis an opportunity at fighting again. However when in the US, KSI was sent a direct message by Danis proposing an address where the pair meet in the street to finally settle their rivalry.

KSI posted the series of messages on his Instagram story, with Danis beginning: " Forever my b**** until we settle this. Let's settle this." KSI responded: "F*** off." Danis then added: "Scared. Prove what you say, you would. Do we put in a pull out clause? Easy fix, be careful in my city today kid." The Bellator star then posted an address, before KSI finally responded: "Come try me c***. I'll see you there, bring your mum too."

This was just hours before KSI appeared on the MMA Hour, where the YouTube fighter provided an update on the situation stating that his rival failed to show up when he attended. He said: "He direct messaged me and said 'yo let's meet today' like recently as in today. He sent an address and everything but didn't show up.

"Bro like this guy always ducks and I went. He literally gave the address of this studio, so I was like come on where is he at? I'm down for anything, I'd probably slap him bro. Yeah it is like legitimate hate bro, he messed us around again and we had someone pull out for the second time. It is disrespectful."

Danis later issued a bold response on Twitter, which he later deleted, to the situation insisting it was instead KSI who failed to show up despite his history of failing to make events. It is likely that Danis will not receive a shot at accepting a boxing event again, despite his pleas to reignite their rivalry.

KSI will likely instead focus on his own career where he is expected to either face Tyron Woodley or professional boxer Joe Fournier in May when his next outing will likely take place. If the YouTuber does pick up a fourth professional win, he could go straight for the mega-fight and target the settling of scores with his bitter foe Jake Paul.
