Only one fighter made it all the way to the final round<\/a>, where they were put in with British cruiserweight champion Viddal Riley. The entire thing was overseen by UFC star Michael \u2018Venom\u2019 Page<\/a>, who acted as referee for every round.<\/p>\n Danny Aarons insists he won\u2019t box again after suffering horror injury<\/p>\n One of the most explosive moments in KSI\u2019s new boxing challenge came when medics had to be called for a gruesome knee injury suffered by FIFA YouTuber Danny Aarons. The Brit immediately crumpled to the floor and required oxygen, eventually going to hospital.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n However, he gave a memorable interview to reporter Fred Beck a la Conor McGregor<\/a> and Joe Rogan<\/a> after UFC 264 in 2021<\/a>. And while waiting for an ambulance to take him away, Aarons gave Beck another interview for his Fred Talks Fighting channel where he admitted his boxing days are behind him.<\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t walk down stairs right now and that\u2019s told me boxing\u2019s not for me any more,\u201d Aarons admitted. \u201cI\u2019m a dad now, first time I hop back in the ring and I do my knee? Embarrassing, mate. And I was getting pieced up as well. I need to call it a day, mate. I\u2019ll just do charity [soccer] matches honestly.\u201d<\/p>\n KSI offers potential timeline for return to boxing next year<\/p>\n The video was shot weeks ago, and after the fact Aarons sat down for a podcast with KSI where they discussed the ordeal. They both appear to be over the boxing game for now, although KSI did note that he might be able to return after hand surgery at some point midway through next year.<\/p>\n \u201cI literally can\u2019t fight,\u201d he explained, before noting that he will undergo surgery in November that will take six months from which to recover, at which point he would consider re-entering a camp. \u201cI still train, I did a Hyrox.<\/p>\n \u201cNot the event but just the training. I did a 1km run, then a 1000m row, 1km run and so on\u2026 Not every day, that\u2019s not great for your body but I do train.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"YouTube star Danny Aarons has insisted that he won\u2019t box again after suffering a horror injury filming a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":35108,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,14973,19378,12024,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-35107","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-ksi","10":"tag-michael-page","11":"tag-misfits-boxing","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35107","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35107"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35107\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35108"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"KSI](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/GettyImages-1736782086-3-1024x682.jpg\")
