KSI rose to fame on the celebrity boxing circuit with back-to-back outings against Logan Paul, drawing an amateur bout and winning a pro matchup via split-decision. The rapper then went on to knockout his contemporary Swarmz and professional boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda on the same night earlier this year.

Meanwhile, Dillon Danis hasn't competed since 2019 after going 2-0 in the Bellator cage. However, 'El Jefe' has managed to stay in the headlines by jibing at various prominent fighters. MMA Fighting's Damon Martin has confirmed with Bellator officials that Danis was given permission to sign on for this boxing match.

Danis recently ate a right hand from Jake Paul's teammate Anthony Taylor during a the Misfits Boxing 3 weigh-ins.
