- The two had to be separated due to the bizarre incident

A quick pancake slap
KSI and Danis electrified the atmosphere at the Misfits Boxing 21 press conference. The crowd buzzed with excitement as they waited to see what’s gonna happen the moment the two controversial fighters come face-to-face.
As the stare-down intensified, KSI suddenly reached into his pocket and pulled out an unexpected prop: a pancake. With a swift motion, he slapped the pancake directly onto Danis’ face, sending the audience into a frenzy of both laughter and disbelief.
Caught off guard and clearly infuriated, “El Jefe” erupted with anger. Danis attempted to retaliate but the security swiftly intervened, separating the two fighters before the situation even escalated.

The incident added an unexpected twist to the press conference, leaving fans entertained and excited for their upcoming bout. As for why KSI chose to bring a pancake, it is believed to be in line with the “Shrove Tuesday” of “Pancake Day,” the day that marks the end of pre-lent.
KSI and Danis have other opponents in mind
As it turns out, KSI and Danis are also being linked to other opponents respectively. KSI has verbally agreed to face Conor McGregor earlier this year but nothing is concrete yet to this moment.
On the other hand, Danis was reportedly set to face UFC veteran Tony Ferguson in what is billed as a “legendary” bout at Global Fight League.
For now, KSI and Danis will be focused on each other as they headline Misfits Boxing 21 on March 29 in Manchester, England.
