KSI has been forced to withdraw from his highly anticipated comeback bout against Dillon Danis at MF & DAZN X Series 21: Unfinished Business next week through illness.
The multi-hyphenate social media star, who has found success as a boxer, a promoter, a musician and more, had been due to fight for the first time since October 2023.
Now however, he had to reluctantly withdraw of his clash with American Danis, which had been expected to serve as the headline bout at this month's latest Misfits Boxing card.
The latter himself was a replacement for former professional footballer Wayne Bridge, who was confirmed to be the Briton's comeback opponent before withdrawing himself.
"Due to an illness to KSI, Misfits Boxing Unfinished Business, scheduled for March 29th in Manchester, has been postponed," read an official statement.
"A further update will be issued next week, including a new date for the event."
KSI and Danis squared off earlier this month at a heated face-off event following a press conference, where the former slapped the latter with a pancake on Shrove Tuesday.
The star last stepped into the ring to face Tommy Fury almost a year-and-a-half ago, suffering the only professional loss of his career in a unanimous points defeat.
