He continued, “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.”
KSI expressed his disappointment, saying, “I know this might be disappointing for many of you, and I hate letting you down.

KSI expressed his apologies to his fans, opponents, and everyone affected by his decision to withdraw from the fight. He acknowledged the effort his supporters made to see him compete in Ireland, stating, "I am aware of the lengths that people will have gone to see me fight in Ireland, and I’m sorry to have let you all down."
