The build-up to Misfits Series X 22 has taken an unexpected twist as KSI has promised Dillon Danis a financial incentive that has the combat sports world buzzing. Ahead of his fight with Warren Spencer, Danis has been told by KSI that his purse will be doubled if he manages to score a knockout victory.

The fight is set for Saturday, 30 August 2025, at the AO Arena in Manchester, England. It marks Danis’ return to the spotlight after his controversial disqualification against Logan Paul in 2023, and this time he will step into a hybrid rules bout against Warren Spencer, a fighter with a strong boxing background who is making his MMA debut.

The Offer That Sparked Headlines

The moment was captured in a fiery video circulating online, where KSI can be heard telling Danis that a knockout will be rewarded with double the payday. The offer was clearly aimed at pushing Danis away from his usual grappling-heavy style and into a more aggressive, striking-focused fight that would entertain fans.

Danis responded in classic fashion, throwing the challenge back at KSI by saying that if he does land the KO, then KSI must face him in an MMA bout. The two exchanged heated words, but no official agreement was made, leaving the tension between them unresolved.
