KSI has thrown his boxing future into doubt by refusing to confirm whether he will retire or not.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer was set to return to the ring on March 29 in Manchester against Dillon Danis.
But he pulled out due to illness with just a week to go and vowed to reschedule the Misfits Boxing bout.
However, there has been no sign of a new date and KSI emotionally refused to rule out the idea of retiring from boxing.
He said on his YouTube channel: “When I told Mams [Taylor] and everybody else that I wasn’t going to be able to do this fight, I broke down.
“I was there crying in my room because I felt I let everybody down. I know how the internet works, I know how this game goes.
“If I tried to fight and got into the ring and had a s*** performance, no one would care that I was sick.
“My boxing career since I have come back has been problem after problem, and just being unlucky over and over again.
“And it is a shame. The amount of stress I have gone through over the last few years. Even with Misfits in general, it’s been stressful.
“I feel like I’ve aged in these two and a half years of Misfits being created.

“So, where am I in terms of Boxing? I don’t know. Am I going to retire? I don’t know. Am I going to fight again? I don’t know.”
It marks the second pay-per-view fight in a row that KSI has had to withdraw from.
He was due to face YouTuber Slim Albaher and MMA fighter Anthony Taylor in a two-on-one HANDICAP bout last August.
But KSI pulled out with an injured hand before scheduling his return against Danis, who is 2-0 in MMA and lost his boxing debut to Logan Paul in 2023.
KSI revealed he picked up a viral infection in training and was taking antibiotics.
But Danis trolled his rival after footage appeared to show KSI at an Usher concert at the O2 on the night their fight was set to take place.
Danis, 31, posted online: “KSI canceled the fight to go to an Usher concert. I’m done.”
KSI, 31, is yet to return since suffering his first defeat in the ring, losing a controversial decision to Tommy Fury, 25, in October 2025.
Meanwhile Danis now looks set to focus on his MMA return against Tony Ferguson in May.
KSI was probed on his boxing future while commentating on Ballers League in a live stream.
And he said: “I don’t need to fight, if we’re being honest. Do I really need to fight? Is money low?
“Is there a fight that really needs to happen? ‘But Jake Paul.’ Well, I don’t think that’s ever going to happen so besides that what else is there?”
