KSI’s Dig At Dillon Danis

The drama between these two took an unexpected turn when UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira entered the conversation. Danis mentioned that he has been training with the feared knockout artist ahead of the fight.

This prompted KSI to make a bold claim that raised eyebrows throughout the combat sports world. When Danis asked if KSI thought he hit harder than Pereira, the YouTuber confidently replied “Yes” before quickly backtracking.

“I hit harder than Logan. I hit harder than most fighters. I don’t know if I hit harder than Pereira. I don’t know how hard he hits.”

Alex Pereira is known as one of the most devastating punchers in MMA. His left hook has put multiple champions to sleep. The idea that a YouTuber-turned-boxer might pack more power than ‘Poatan’ strikes most fight fans as laughable.

Meanwhile, Danis seems to be taking his preparation more seriously this time around. His last boxing match was widely considered embarrassing. He barely threw any punches against Logan Paul before getting disqualified for attempting a guillotine choke.
Now, Danis claims training with Pereira has improved his striking considerably.

Alex Pereira Readying For War

The timing of this boxing match is interesting as Pereira prepares to defend his UFC title against Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 313. This would probably be the hardest fight of his career, given Ankalaev’s grappling credentials. The fight world now waits to see if Pereira’s striking prowess has rubbed off on Danis at all. Many remain skeptical given his previous boxing performance.
