How do boxing fans react to Dillion Danis pulling out of KSI Fight?

Comment 1: This may be an unpopular take but I honestly get morbidly depressed vibes from Dillon. Dudes did fuck all for years. Had his MMA career put on hold with injuries. Conor moved on. He seems completely lost.

Comment 2: I felt kind of sorry for him, that’s a lot for a young lad to deal with while trying to project the image of a badass outwardly.

Comment 3: This is a very strong take and I appreciate you sharing. I never considered it myself and it does make a lot of sense. Really makes you take a step back from hating on the dude and really wonder why an individual is so content with being a laughing stock. Thanks for this!

Comment 4: Hope he gets to box the Uber driver who was going to bring Dillon instead.

KSI Vs Tommy Fury

For months, followers of digital sensations who are now fighters and boxing odds have been captivated by the rivalry between KSI and Tommy Fury.

Amid rumors of a confrontation with internet star KSI, TOMMY FURY appears to be in fighting shape. Fury is currently planning a domestic altercation with the YouTuber-turned-boxer, which has been planned since May.

However, it appears that there has been a cooling in the negotiations in recent weeks, but that hasn’t stopped Fury from continuing to work hard at the gym.

The former Love Island star has been attending numerous tough training sessions at brother Tyson’s gym in Morecambe Bay.

Along with Tyson and his brother Roman, Tommy worked out on Friday morning. Immediately following the workout, the team posed for a photo. In addition, he appeared to be in excellent shape despite not having a scheduled fight.

After the YouTuber’s since-overturned KO victory over Joe Fournier in May, Fury and KSI nearly exchanged punches. That close encounter catalyzed for Fury to square off against another influential person, defeating Jake Paul for the first time in February.

The fight is still happening, though, as KSI’s management recently disclosed to SunSport, saying:

“Whether it’s on or off, we should know sometime this week.” This week is going to be fascinating, I just wanted to let you know that.“He added: “There’s always a threat it’s not a done deal until you have the signed contracts, there’s always a threat after you have the signed contracts.

“This is boxing, someone could get injured, it’s not celeb darts. “We’ve had some bad luck with pullouts and you have to think fast.“We’ve had to come up with creative solutions. “And it won’t be any different if anyone pulls out of our fights, we always try to have ones on standby.

“But, I do believe this is a great fight and a great test for JJ and I think he’s got this in the bag if they do end up fighting.”

Discussion overweight and Negotiations

Negotiations for the KSI vs. Tommy Fury fight have been going on for a while, and both parties have been striving for terms that work best for them. The agreed-upon battle weight restriction was one of the main points of disagreement.

Tommy Fury had initially agreed to a weight restriction of 180 lbs but later demanded that it be increased to 185 lbs. In response, KSI gave his competitor till the end of the day to sign the contract while weighing 180 pounds.

However, things changed when KSI said he would agree to the weight shift if the contract contained a rehydration clause. Fans and experts were left with unanswered questions, leading them to make assumptions about how the weight factor may affect the fight dynamics.

The anticipation for the KSI vs. Tommy Fury fight only grows as discussions go on. The boxing community and these two boxers’ ardent fan groups are riveted by the prospect of a match between these two gifted competitors.

Another posted, The pattern on the bottom right is the pattern used by Dannis when he was going to fight and Logan on the bottom left is Logan’s wwe pattern.

One user wrote, Didn’t JJ say Danis ain’t getting another chance? I don’t think someone that pulls out for no reason should be given big fights like this.

Another user said, 100%, now even more people will be pulling out of fights because they know they won’t face any consequences. They just have to wait a couple of months and they will get offered another fight…
