Misfits 21 was originally scheduled to take place at the AO Arena in Manchester on Saturday, March 29, but KSI pulled out of his fight with Dillon Danis.
Derby will also be treated to two title fights, as Chase DeMoor defends his Misfits heavyweight championship against Tank Tolman, and Idris Virgo clashes Ty Mitchell for the Misfits middleweight pro championship.
Tommy Fury will also see his pal Curtis Pritchard step into the ring, as he debuts against Temp Arts, Big Tobz and Godson in a Survivor Tag match.
SunSport can reveal whether or not KSI will be in action on Misfits 21.
Is KSI fighting on Misfits tonight?
KSI will NOT fight on Misfits 21.
“The Nightmare” was scheduled to fight on the original card on March 29 against Dillon Danis, but pulled out of the fight.
KSI said he would not be able to fight Danis due to illness, but he is yet to confirm a date for his return to action.
He said at the time: “It’s so annoying, man. I was so ready, I legit f***ing cried at some point last week, man.
“I was just so angry because I’ve literally killed myself for so many weeks putting myself through so much s***.
“And then to just get sick right at the final bit, I’m like just trying to push on, push through and I’m still just getting more and more sick.
“It just got to a point where I’m sparring and I can’t even breathe. I can’t even punch properly, I just feel weak.”
When did KSI last have a boxing match?
KSI’s fight with Dillon Danis in late March was set to be his first in-ring appearance for over a year.
He has not fought since he lost to Tommy Fury in October 2023.
KSI last won a boxing match against Thomas Oliveira in January 2023, over TWO years ago.
