On March 5, Deji Olatunji and Alex Wassabi stepped into the ring for their anticipated Showstar UK vs. USA match, and it was ultimately Wassabi who ended up taking away the split decision victory. Although Deji had originally said he would retire from boxing if he lost the match, he later went on to reveal that he plans to continue fighting with the aim of getting a win for his loyal supporters.

I\u2019m sorry if that\u2019s not what you wanna hear, but it\u2019s the truth.\u201d He added: \u201cI\u2019m not gonna lie to you \u2014 I expected more from you.\u201d However, winner Alex didn\u2019t agree with KSI\u2019s approach, and in an episode of The Sync Podcast he called out the YouTuber for publicly criticizing him. \u201cIt\u2019s just like, come on man, be a big brother. Be a decent person,\u201d he said.\u201d Why\u2019d you have to tear him down. He\u2019s just reiterating what everybody is saying. You should be the big brother, you should be helping him, lifting him up, being like, \u2018don\u2019t worry about it, it\u2019s just a fight.&#8217;\u201d Topic starts at 12:38 \u201cWhy don\u2019t you say that offline? Why do you have to publicly shame him and not give him anything encouraging.\u201d He went on to give his own opinion on Deji, saying: \u201cHe underestimated me. I don\u2019t think he\u2019s a bad fighter, he just has bad matchups.\u201d Alex suggested that Deji should fight someone like Bryce Hall, who lost to Austin McBroom back in 2021, and added that if that fight were to ever happen, he would bet $20,000 on Deji. With Wassabi challenging KSI to a fight of their own, fans will be waiting to see whether these two ever end up stepping into the ring together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alex Wassabi hits out at KSI for \u201cpublicly shaming\u201d Deji after fight loss YouTube: JJ Olatunji \/ TheSync PodcastYouTuber Alex Wassabi has called out KSI for \u201cpublicly shaming\u201d his younger brother Deji online after he lost their UK vs. USA boxing match.
