KSI, 31, issues worrying statement on health battle and gives major update on boxing career after latest fight collapse

Occasional Digest - a story for you

KSI has thrown his boxing future into doubt by refusing to confirm whether he will retire or not.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer was set to return to the ring on March 29 in Manchester against Dillon Danis.

But he pulled out due to illness with just a week to go and vowed to reschedule the Misfits Boxing bout.

However, there has been no sign of a new date and KSI emotionally refused to rule out the idea of retiring from boxing.

He said on his YouTube channel: “When I told Mams [Taylor] and everybody else that I wasn’t going to be able to do this fight, I broke down.

“I was there crying in my room because I felt I let everybody down. I know how the internet works, I know how this game goes.

“If I tried to fight and got into the ring and had a s*** performance, no one would care that I was sick.

“My boxing career since I have come back has been problem after problem, and just being unlucky over and over again.

“And it is a shame. The amount of stress I have gone through over the last few years. Even with Misfits in general, it’s been stressful.

“I feel like I’ve aged in these two and a half years of Misfits being created.

“So, where am I in terms of Boxing? I don’t know. Am I going to retire? I don’t know. Am I going to fight again? I don’t know.”

KSI is yet to return since defeat to Tommy Fury, 25, in his last fight in October 2023.
