Ahead of their hyped up boxing match, KSI hit Dillon Danis in the face at a press conference — not with his fist, but with….a pancake.
TMZ reports that the duo met at a press conference in London to hype up their highly anticipated match that’s set to take place on March 29. As usual with these types of events, KSI and Danis trash talked each other and went face-to-face.
In the middle of the photo-op, instead of attacking him with his hands, KSI fished in his pocket for a pancake and slapped the deliciously soft breakfast treat over Danis’ face.
Instead of eating the pancake, Danis became irate and tired his best to break through security so he could beat up KSI—or, just maybe, see if he had any syrup and butter to go along with the fluffy flapjack that blanketed his cheek. Danis was ultimately unsuccessful though. The real action will take place in the ring later this month.
KSI and Danis’ debut was originally supposed to take place in January of 2023 but was moved due to Danis pulling out. This happened because KSI’s team alleged that the YouTuber-turned-boxer was having issues maintaining the necessary weight.
Aside from boxing matches (and seemingly pancakes), KSI has a lot on his plate. Back in November, the Baller League announced that KSI and iShowSpeed are teaming up to expand a soccer league and usher in a “new era for football.”
KSI is set to be president of the UK league while iShowSpeed will be the president of the US League.
"Baller League is a brand new way to consume football," said Baller League CEO Felix Starck in a statement. "We're redefining how the game is played by bringing an exhilarating and authentic approach to football, and one that will appeal to current fans along with future generations."
"Baller League is all about forward-thinking, aggressive, hyper-exciting football,” he added. “We're about creating a version of the game that's impossible to ignore—thrilling, bold, and packed with excitement."
