KSI revealed Dillon Danis risks heavy penalties if he tries any more MMA moves in the boxing ring.
The rivals settle their score in the squared circle on March 29 in Manchester – three years after Danis pulled out of their original bout.

Danis did make his boxing debut in October 2023 against Logan Paul but it ended in chaos when the jiu-jitsu champion got himself disqualified.
The American attempted an MMA-style submission move in round six – sparking a mass brawl in the ring and his expulsion from the bout.
But KSI – who lost to Tommy Fury on the same night – has come prepared to avoid a farcical repeat with the devil in the fine print details.
He said: “We’ve put stuff in the contract. So yeah, I don’t think he’s gonna do anything stupid.
“I think he knows the consequences, I just know he’s screwed. I can’t wait to show what was meant to have happened, compared to what Logan did.”
KSI has goaded Danis by claiming he only accepted the fight to afford the lawsuit launched by Paul’s fiancee Nina Agdal for online harassment.
But Danis, acknowledging the contract stipulations, told SunSport: “They’re gonna take my check away if I choke him out.
“So we’ll see if I need the money or not.”

KSI – who trains at MMA gym London Shootfighters – is already anticipating some of Danis’ wild antics in the ring.
He said: “I’m just more active. I just do more, I’m not a guy that throws one jab and then just gives him time to breathe.
“I’m gonna be on him. I like to close a fight. I like to knock someone out.
“I like to finish a fight, so yeah, I’m not gonna just give him time to breathe.
“I’m going to be on him smothering him and making his life hell, to the point where he’s gonna be desperate and probably try to do some jiu-jitsu move.
“Obviously, you know I’m in an MMA gym so I’m gonna see it coming and then use it to my advantage and knock him out.”
KSI, 31, is yet to return since losing a controversial decision to Tommy Fury, 25, his first boxing defeat.
He was also forced to pull out of his August comeback bout due to a hand injury – which KSI has since recovered from.
And the YouTuber-turned-boxer struggled to find an opponent for this fight claiming FIVE names turned him down.
At one point, he even signed to face Wayne Bridge, 44, until the ex-Chelsea star pulled out after KSI referenced his infamous feud with John Terry.
KSI – who slapped Danis with a pancake at their heated press conference – has faced criticism for his level of opposition.
That is despite his training and managerial team also having a say on who he fights as Danis, 31, was drafted in as an emergency replacement.
But KSI said: “It always comes down to me in terms of who I get to fight. Everyone has an opinion.
“But I’m able to say the final say and they gave me Dillon Danis as the guy because we went through a load of people and it was getting to a point where it was like maybe there isn’t an event.
“So we saw Dillon and I’ve wanted to knock this guy out. We’ve been going back and forth in DMs or publicly and I just I didn’t feel that Logan Paul did enough.
“I didn’t think he did enough. He won, easily won the fight but I don’t want to just win the fight, I want to see him knocked out. I need to see him knocked out.”
