KSI next fight: Conor McGregor's teammate teases August return with cryptic Instagram post

KSI could make his comeback against Bellator MMA fighter Dillon Danis – Conor McGregor‘s long-time training partner.

The British YouTuber has been out since November 2019 but will be back in action on August 17 in London against a soon-to-be opponent.

KSI – real name Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji – is set to lace up his boxing gloves again this summer – with a fight against his bitter American rival Jake Paul his long-term target.

KSI hasn’t fought since his one and only professional boxing match with Jake’s brother Logan Paul back in 2019.

However, he recently revealed he will return to the ring before facing the American for the ultimate bragging rights.

A clip from one of KSI’s concerts shows the British star talking to the crowd about a potential fight with ‘The Problem Child’.

In the clip, KSI can be heard saying: ​”It’s so funny, so many motherf*****s think ‘he ain’t going to box again, he’ll stick with the music’ and to be honest, I probably could have.

“But I was like nah man, I need to f**k Jake Paul up! So, you best believe it’s coming.”​

And now Danis has teased that he has agreed to fight KSI on his planned return in August after KSI’s new promotions Misfit Boxing posted a poll on Instagram asking fans who would win in a potential fight.

BJJ black-belt Danis, 28, re-shared the post on his story so it’s no surprise that has caused a bit of a storm on social media.

He also retweeted a fan’s tweet last night which read: “BREAKING: @KSI potentially fighting @DillonDanis on August 27th!”

Danis, nicknamed ‘El Jefe’, was recently linked to an appearance against 5-0 pro boxer Paul.
