KSI's previous opponent has just pulled out ahead of next week's boxing match, and here's whose likely to replace him.

YouTuber and Singer KSI's opponent ahead of January 14th's boxing match Dillon Danis has pulled out of the fight.

This has left KSI quickly trying to find an opponent to fight ahead of his return to the ring next weekend.

The boxing match will take place next Saturday at Wembley Arena, and this is not the first time an opponent of KSI's has pulled out last minute ahead of the match.

KSI's manager revealed today (4th January) that Dillon Danis has pulled out of the fight, and cited that he was struggling to match his weight and did not have a coach 10 days before the match.

Danis made his name in MMA boxing, but is no longer fighting the YouTuber according to KSI's manager who told Misfits Boxing's YouTube channel.

Danis didn't show to last month's press conference in London about the fight, which led to fans speculating whether or not he would actually be fighting.

A new opponent for the match has now been announced, and it is Faze Temper, an E-sports player.

He is a Twitch streamer and CEO of Faze Clan, an entertainment organisation.
