Dilllon Danis, an IBJJF world champion at the colored belts and ADCC veteran with a 2-0 MMA record, has had to pull out of his upcoming boxing match with Youtuber KSI. The fight was scheduled for January 14th at Wembley Arena in London. KSI's management team had this to say:

“The real reason is, from what they said to me, is that he’s underprepared. He has no coach. He might be struggling with weight even though there’s no rehydration. He has not been able to find a team that’s going to support him to bring him into the fight and obviously he’s got some other issues I think. It’s very sad and unfortunate because he didn’t reciprocate the respect that we’ve given him. He’s clearly embarrassed that he’s in this position and look, who knows what he’s going to come out with and say, but I’m disappointed because I never thought that someone who cares about his reputation as much as he does or what people think of him, I didn’t think that this would be something despite many people saying the opposite, that he’s not going to show up to the fight. They were right.”

KSI has secured a new opponent in pro gamer FaZe Temperrr. While Danis hasn't formally commented on the withdrawal, he took to Twitter to imply that there is more to the story:
