In the realm of boxing, face-offs are all about intimidation, strategy, and mind games. So, credit where credit is due — leave it to KSI to make it a 'breakfast special.' At Misfits Boxing 21's press conference, things took an unprecedented (but somehow so very on-brand) turn when KSI, in the middle of face-off, felt words weren't enough. He slapped Dillon Danis on the face, and it was quite a pancake thwack!

In a sport built on uppercuts and jabs, we've just witnessed the first-ever 'maple syrup-infused disrespect.' If this is what it looks like before they get in the ring, the actual bout might as well be a live-action food fight. As soon as the video went viral, a user (@unlimited_ls) took to his X account and commented:

"Dillon’s reaction time is so slow, it needs three business days"

Dillon Danis' reaction time is clearly cruising at dial-up speed in an era of fiber-optic jabs. By the time he catches up on what's going on, the bout may already be done, the crowd dispersed, with KSI halfway through his acceptance speech. Someone may need to forward him a 'calendar invite' to know when to dodge.

KSI and Dillon Danis came to terms with a bout in which the entire losing purse goes to the winner — because bragging rights aren't enough, someone has to lose their money, too.

Danis said he is avoiding training for a 'secret' Tony Ferguson MMA fight, while KSI likened himself to Dmitry Bivol, and claimed to pack more punch than Alex Pereira. Bold claims, bold bets, and pancake-flying — nothing except a fight.

The internet didn't hesitate to turn this into pure comedy — memes, jokes, and roasts rushing in quicker than KSI's slap. From questioning Danis' reflexes to arguing whether KSI just invented 'pancake-fu', fans were talking about it. Let's get into it!


Netizens have reacted as Dillon Danis gets slapped by KSI during the face-off

Fans couldn't help but make jokes, making the comment section a stand-up comedy routine. Whether or not it was logical didn't matter. Getting a laugh defined the true championship belt:

"if you slow it down you can see KSI slapped him with a pancake. wtf lmao," a user joked.
"I miss the days of real boxers and boxing," another user sarcastically commented.
"Had no idea this was even a thing," a netizen hilariously expressed.

Others leaped in simply to say something, be it a poor joke or a totally unrelated thought. Sense was not required — what was important was posting a comment before the next viral moment:

"This is why I love boxing …. Misfits or not. Hilarious," a folk commented.
"Ngl I didn't see it but I heard that and booy," a user joked.
"Dillon definitely going for a guillotine when they box," another netizen sarcastically commented.

The peanut gallery arrived en masse, throwing in sarcasm, disbelief, and jokes as if they were ringside commentators:

"About time we see Ksi not be the nice guy ! Happy pancake day ppl," a netizen sarcastically commented.
"That slap was crazy," a user wrote.

And there you have it — trash talk, outlandish bets, and a pancake slap the world won't stop talking about. Whether the fans were stoked, roasting Danis' reflexes, or they were just present for the memes, one thing's certain: This fight has already provided more amusement than anticipated. Now, all that remains is waiting and seeing if the actual punches land quicker than Danis' 'breakfast pancake' did.
