Dillon Danis claims that there was nothing staged about his run-in with boxer Anthony Taylor, which led indirectly to his upcoming boxing match against YouTUber KSI. In a recent interview on The MMA Hour, Danis told his side of the story.
“He’s a f****** loser. I didn’t even know who it was, to be honest with you. I thought it was a homeless guy chirping, yelling. We were going to record and this guy’s screaming, ‘You hurt my friend, KSI!’ And I was like, who the f*** is this. Just get the f*** out of here.
Dillon Danis Shares His Side of Altercation With “F***ing Loser” Anthony Taylor
I didn’t even feel it. I didn’t have a mark. I didn’t even know who that is! [He punched me] because he’s a loser and he wanted to make a name for himself. It probably did. It’s probably the most — I don’t even know who that is, I swear.
It’s the most f***** up because I was with two people that can’t fight. So we come outside, Hasim’s [Rahman Jr.s’] camp is trying to fight me, then there was a bunch of boxing guys that want to do it, and then a bunch of YouTubers, all just trying because they know that I’m the f****** king and that they’re going to get clicks after.”
Danis continued, citing his concern for the people he was with at the time. “The situation was actually weird.
The reason I was trying to pay attention to everybody, I’m with two guys that don’t know how to fight — my brother and one of my friends, at least my brother can, you know, but my other friend is just a normal dude that works a regular job — and we go outside and there’s f****** 30 people, 40 people trying to start a fight with me.
So all of a sudden the punches started throwing and I have to watch out for my brother to make sure he’s [okay], because there’s a bunch of guys, like fighters, are trying to jump him, then my friend is getting jumped, so I’m looking around trying to make sure everybody is okay, because obviously I’m the one that knows how to fight.
So you see in the video, after he hits me, it was so crazy I don’t even know who hit me, because there were so many people. So then I saw my brother was on the ground, I came over, I smacked one guy, I don’t know who it was, some boxer.”
