KSI hits out at "keyboard warrior" Dillon Danis in "real men" rant

KSI has hit out at "keyboard warrior' Dillon Danis in a lengthy rant after he withdrew from their boxing clash.

YouTube star KSI - real name JJ Olatunji - was set to make his latest bow in the ring against rival Danis at the OVO Wembley Arena next Saturday night in a bid to settle their fierce feud. However, after weeks of back and forth verbal barbs, Danis has withdrawn from the fight with his team claiming he was "underprepared" to take the clash.

Luckily for 'The Nightmare' he has prepared a replacement opponent in which he will take on fellow YouTube star FaZe Temperrr who was due to fight an unknown rival on the same card. However to bury their feud once and for all, KSI released a lengthy rant hitting out at Danis accusing him of not being a real man.

"I mentioned at the press conference that Dillon was being haunted by me," KSI said in a statement after Danis withdrew from their scheduled event. "He made his excuses and knew he couldn't handle what I bring to a boxing ring. This answers the question whether he's a fighter or not. He's a warrior alright, a keyboard warrior, and hopefully he's learnt to leave the real men to speak with their actions rather than hollow words."

"That being said, my focus won't be distracted from the task at hand and that's FaZe Temper. We've come head-to-head plenty of times with the Sidemen and FaZe Clan competing against each other, and it looks like we have another challenge on our hands. Credit to Temper for stepping up like a REAL fighter."

KSI had already suggested that Danis would pull out during their face-off late last year, with the pair having already come to blows ahead of their fight. This is now the second time the British star has been forced to find a late replacement opponent having fought Swarmz and Luis Pineda after his original rival Alex Wassabi pulled out of their showdown in August last year.

His new opponent has already fought on two previous Misfits Boxing cards losing to Slim Albaher before returning to winning ways by stopping PJ Brittain in round one in November. And the American star has vowed to put on an entertaining display and end KSI's boxing journey.

He said: "I showed exactly what I can do in my last fight. At any moment in the fight, I can catch my opponent and you can see how they respond when that happens. Sure, KSI is a huge name, but only one man is going to come out of this victorious. I hope he's as prepared as he says he is, because I’m coming to London to do one thing, and that's claim a massive win inside that ring."
