KSI\u2019s manager blasts \u201cshady\u201d Dillon Danis over Misfits Boxing weight dispute Misfits \/ IG: DillonDanisMams Taylor, KSI\u2019s manager and co-founder of Misfits Boxing, has labeled Dillon Danis as \u201cshady\u201d after the former MMA fighter claimed the insertion of a clause late on was an effort by the Brit\u2019s team to \u201chandicap\u201d him. Misfits Boxing is set to host its fourth night of bouts, event 004, in January 2023. Headlining the event will be KSI and Dillon Danis, with the British rapper set to face off against the former MMA star in a boxing match of epic proportions. Despite the fight rapidly approaching, it\u2019s been thrown into doubt by Danis\u2019 recent claims that KSI\u2019s teams have tried to insert a controversial \u2018rehydration clause\u2019 into the mix late on. It inhibits Danis from gaining a certain amount of weight in fluids between the weigh-in and fight itself. Talking to Chael Sonnen, Danis said: \u201cI feel like this fight won\u2019t happen\u2026 They\u2019re trying to make weird things in the contract now two weeks before. I feel like they\u2019re looking for a way out.\u201d Now, KSI\u2019s manager Mams Taylor has responded, describing Danis\u2019 tactics as \u201cmessed up\u201d. Mams Taylor blasts \u201cshady\u201d Dillon Danis In a series of tweets, Mams Taylor stated that the specific clause was present in the agreement from the off, despite Danis\u2019 claims it has been inserted late on. \u201c1 \u2013 Danis signed a contract (binding short form) over 2 months ago,\u201d he said. \u201c2 \u2013 The contracted weight was 177.5 lbs with a rehydration clause limit of 185lbs. 3 \u2013 We tried 170 and he said that was too light so we settled on 177.5 Neither Dillon or his team objected to the rehydration clause until now.\u201d Taylor added that \u201cif Dillon had an issue\u201d it should have been brought up previously. Had the issue been raised earlier, KSI may have looked for a different opponent. He finished: \u201cTo make out that we are being shady and throwing this in last minute is just messed up considering he has been treated with nothing but respect and courtesy.\u201d As of the time of writing, the fight is set to go ahead on January 14. However, both men appear to be blaming the other for trying to avoid the fight, so that could change yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
