I am always getting the opportunity to participate in exciting and interesting activities getting my first tattoo at the age of 71 has just been the icing on the cake. John showcasing his new Spiderman tattoo 'I have wanted a tattoo for as long as I can remember, so it was a really special moment for me. Now that I've done it, I definitely have plans to get another one.'

Misfits Boxing postpones KSI vs. Dillon Danis event for KSI illness
Almost as quickly as it suddenly was a thing again, KSI vs. Dillon Danis is off. It's veja du, Hawkhead. The two were supposed to box in early 2023, but Danis (0-1) pulled out less than two weeks before the fight. This time, it's KSI (4-1) who is out. The influencer boxer posted a video Friday to say he's been sick for three weeks and he won't be able to fight. Because of that, Misfits Boxing announced Friday it has postponed the entire event, which was set for March 29 at Manchester Arena in England. The promotion said a new date will be announced next week. In response, the typically brash Danis took aim at KSI in a social media post. The X Series 21 'Unfinished Business' card was set to stream on pay-per-view through DAZN. It was to be contested at 185 pounds. Danis has built a reputation for inactivity and withdrawals. Since his final Bellator MMA fight in June 2019, Danis has competed once in non-grappling contests. That appearance was an October 2023 exhibition boxing match against Logan Paul. Danis was disqualified in Round 6 for unsportsmanlike conduct. Similar to Jake Paul in America, KSI has become a massive draw for influencer boxing in the United Kingdom. He's competed in six exhibition boxing matches against a handful of influencers, as well as undefeated boxer Joe Fournier and journeyman Luis Alcaraz Pineda. KSI has also competed twice professionally. He beat Logan Paul by split decision in his pro debut in 2019, then lost to Tommy Fury in October 2023.

KSI vs. Dillon Danis set for Misfits Boxing match
KSI and Dillon Danis will square off in the ring this spring. Misfits Boxing officially announced the matchup will take place March 29 at AO Arena in Manchester, England. The event titled 'Unfinished Business' will stream on DAZN pay-per-view. It will be contested at 185 pounds. It's unclear how many rounds the bout is scheduled for, what weight it will take place at, or if the match is professional or exhibition. KSI (4-1) and Danis (0-1) were initially supposed to fight in January 2023 in a six-round exhibition bout at 178 pounds. However, Danis withdrew from the bout 10 days prior and was replaced by gaming streamer FaZe Temperrr (Thomas Oliveira). Misfits Boxing promoter Mams Taylor, who also manages KSI, said Danis was 'underprepared' for the bout hence the pullout. Danis has built a reputation for inactivity and withdrawals. Since his final Bellator MMA fight in June 2019, Danis has competed once in non-grappling contests. That appearance was an October 2023 exhibition boxing match against Logan Paul.
