KSI – real name Olajide Olatunji – will face mixed martial artist and Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace Dillon Danis at Wembley Arena on January 14.

KSI cryptically talked up Danis’ skill set before the fight was officially announced, saying the American was “dangerous” and had “beaten a lot of people”.

Fellow social media superstar Paul took exception to KSI’s description of Danis’ combat experience, tweeting: “‘Has beaten a lot of people’.

“You are ‘boxing’ a guy who has two MMA fights in his entire career and the last one of those was 3.5 years ago.”

Paul, 25, then claimed KSI should’ve fought his former foe Tyron Woodley, who recently revealed he had a contract to take on the YouTuber.

He said: “Should have fought Woodley but you ain’t got the balls.”

KSI and Danis clashed at the weigh-ins for Sunday morning’s Misfits card, with the latter PUNCHING the former in a heated scuffle.

The pair went face-to-face again shortly after the confirmation of their bout and were quick to trade verbal jabs.

Danis – a training partner of UFC superstar Conor McGregor – asked the Brit: “Do you want me to choke you out right here?”

KSI replied: “No, you don’t need to, but I could knock you out if I wanted to.”

After a bit of argy-bargy, KSI said: “Best believe January 14, you’re finished.

“I am the nightmare, KSI, You don’t want to f**k with me!

“Look at me in my eyes, no one trains as hard as me.
