KSI predicts winners for Misfits Boxing's X Series 17 card headlined by Danny Aarons vs. Danny Simpson
Misfits boxing co-founder and popular social media star KSI recently gave his thoughts on the upcoming X Series 17 fight card, which will be headlined by a bout between Danny Aarons and Danny Simpson. The event will take place at the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland, on Aug. 31. It features some interesting crossover boxing matches, with some of Misfits Boxing's most popular stars set to participate.
In a recent video posted by @MF_DAZNXSeries on X, KSI analyzed seven fights on the card and predicted the victors. Speaking on the Aarons vs. Simpson fight, KSI said:
"I think just because of the confidence, I am going to say Danny Aarons [in the main event]. But I think the occasion might get to him."
YouTuber-turned-professional boxer Nurideen Shabazz, popularly known as 'Deen The Great', will fight Dave Fogarty on the undercard. According to KSI:
[Against Dave Fogarty] I think [Deen The Great] has got this."
Sami Hamed and Jesse Clarke will lock horns with each other. Meanwhile, HS Tikki Tokky will face George Fensom. Speaking about the fights, KSI said:
I think Sami Hamed [wins]. If HS Tikki Tokky trains, then I'd say him. If not, then I'd say he's probably going to lose."
He also gave his predictions for the rest of the fights on the card, saying:
"I think Ben Williams' last fight was very good. He just smashed it. He's a good boxer, a good fighter. I'd say Ben Williams wins [against Warren Spencer]. [In Cornish vs. Edwards] I'll go with Mike Edwards. I'm going to say DTG [defeats Minikon]. I feel like he's improved a lot."
