KSI has been forced to PULL OUT of his boxing return – and aimed a dig at Conor McGregor while doing so.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer was due to face Anthony Taylor and Slim Albaher in a wild two-on-one HANDICAP bout.
But after a period of uncertainty, KSI has confirmed injury has forced him out of the event in Dublin, which will still go ahead.
He took to social media to speak out and aim a jibe McGregor’s way after the Irishman pulled out of his UFC return with a toe injury.
KSI, 31, said: “I have some important news to share and I wanted you to hear it directly from me. The fight with Slim and AT is off.
“I have been battling with an injury (not my toe lol) since I began training for this fight and unfortunately this has worsened during camp which is why you haven’t seen my usual enthusiasm.
“Despite my best efforts to push through the pain, it has reached a point where I can no longer spar or even hit pads or do bag work.
“On my doctor’s orders, I have been advised to withdraw from Misfits 017 at the 3Arena in Dublin on August 31st.”
