Dillon Danis Shocks The World…

I’m assuming you’re already well aware of the sarcasm flowing through this headline. For context however, the news is in that Dillon Danis has pulled out of his boxing match with KSI.

Let me take you back to an extract from my article on November 20, just after the fight was initially announced…

“My main concern with this match-up is that I don’t think it’ll actually happen. Danis has got into this position by being all bark and no bite. He knows he isn’t a boxer, and he knows the chances of him being embarrassed are high. He’s just going to dine on this publicity and pull out on the week of the fight. I hope I’m wrong, I hope we see a competitive high-quality boxing match. But sadly, I just can’t see it happening.”

So, it’s safe to say this news comes as no surprise, and with the event just 10 days away, KSI is in need of an opponent. There is only one logical option.

Sulieman Albaher, better known as ‘Slim’, is currently scheduled to fight musician Tom Zanetti, in another fight nobody really wants to see. Slim is one of the select few to have shown natural boxing ability on previous Misfits cards, impressing in recent wins against Thomas Oliveira and Ryan Taylor.

He would make for a far more intriguing match-up than Dillon Danis would’ve ever provided, and this may turn out to be a blessing in disguise for the spectator As for Danis, well hopefully he’ll consider logging off his computer and calling it a day.
