KSI, 31, was due to make his return next Saturday in Manchester against MMA star Danis, 31.
He has not fought since October 2023 when he suffered defeat for the first time in the ring, losing a controversial decision to Tommy Fury, 25.
KSI was set to fight Anthony Taylor, 35, and YouTuber Slim Albaher, 30, last August but he pulled out with a hand injury.
Danis himself withdrew from facing KSI in January 2023 due to personal reasons.
He instead made his boxing debut the night Fury beat KSI – losing by disqualification against Logan Paul, 29.

KSI
KSI – coughing down the phone – confirmed he plans to reschedule the bout with Danis.
He said: “I wanna move the fight to another day because I still wanna knock out Dillon Danis.
“Yeah, I didn’t train this hard for nothing. Either way, I want to say sorry to everyone at Misfits, everyone at DAZN.
“I wanna say sorry to Sidemen for not being in as many videos as I’d like to be and most importantly I’d like to say sorry to all the fans.”
Danis is scheduled to return to MMA for the first time since 2019 with a scheduled bout against ex-UFC lightweight Tony Ferguson, 39, set for May.
And he hit out at KSI in a series of social media posts, writing: “hahahahahahahahaha p***y.”
