Dillon Danis has revealed the reasons why he chose to pull out of his proposed bout with KSI.
The 30-year-old was due to fight KSI on Misfits 004 back in January, but withdrew just one week prior to the bout.
JJ eventually ended up squaring up against FaZe Temperrr, who he dispatched fairly routinely via a first-round TKO at the OVO Arena in London.

Danis is this weekend due to fight American star Logan Paul at the AO Arena in Manchester, with the fight billed as the main warm-up ahead of KSI's clash with Tommy Fury.
With Paul casting major doubt over whether or not Danis will again pull out ahead of Saturday's fight, the Prime co-founder even agreed to fight an MMA match against his opponent IF he sticks around on October 14.
Asked by host Ashley Tebi from Rak-Su if he pulled out of his cancelled bout with KSI earlier this week, Danis was deemed to be telling the truth when he replied "no,'' if he pulled out of the fight because he was scared. He was also asked whether or not he regretted not taking the fight, and again, Danis was adjudged to be truthful when he answered "no".

"He's a p****," Danis continued. "I just think KSI's a nobody, it was a lose-lose for me and beating him was like 'who cares?' I don't know, I didn't really care about fighting him at all. I think me and the Paul's have had a lot of history and there's a lot more storyline, me and KSI never had a storyline.
"I think he's a loser, he's not a real fighter, he's a video gamer, brought nothing to me. Logan has actually boxed Floyd Mayweather so at least he brings a little bit of credibility and it's better. I think KSI sucks and I would have starched him... He's working for me, I sold this whole fight so he's my b****, tell him to take the bandana off and show his forehead, both of them!"
Danis and Paul's fight seemingly has much more media attention than most, given the MMA's star berating of Paul's fiancee Nina Agdal over recent weeks.

Agdal has even threatened to file a lawsuit against Danis, given he is said to have posted 200 photos of her online.
