Deji Olatunji, younger brother to KSI, notably boxed against Jake Paul in August 2018 on the initial KSI vs Logan Paul undercard. While the Team 10 founder came out of the ring with a bloody nose, it was Deji who suffered a loss after going five rounds with his opponent in the Manchester Arena. Despite these highly-publicized results, it doesn\u2019t look like Deji is through with his former rival, as evidenced by a series of Twitter posts after Gib\u2019s own defeat on January 30. \u201cLemme fight Jake again, I promise I will finish him this time!\u201d Deji confidently posted, after expressing incredulity at the British boxer had lost. \u201cDon\u2019t doubt me, I will finish him,\u201d he continued. \u201cI will prove to you all what I\u2019m capable of, stay tuned.\u201d Deji later took to YouTube to further express these sentiments, where he claimed that he would \u201cdrop\u201d Jake, should they get the chance to meet in the ring once more. \u201cI know deep down in my heart I could have finished Jake,\u201d he began. \u201cI know that for a fact. If I didn\u2019t get struck with the nerves\u2026 I know I could finish Jake. If I have a chance to finish him, I know I\u2019ll drop him. And I know I will.\u201d Despite his confidence in the matter, it doesn\u2019t look like the internet is too convinced, with fellow YouTuber Adam Saleh suggesting that the Brit take on a smaller personality before going back to the big game. \u201cFirst you gotta get through Slim honey boo boo,\u201d Saleh replied. \u201cDon\u2019t doubt him.\u201d First you gotta get through @SlimmySlim94 honey boo boo .

With Jake setting his sights on KSI in revenge for Logan Paul\u2019s 2019 rematch loss, it doesn\u2019t look like Deji will be taking a bite out of his former rival anytime soon \u2014 no matter how he feels about their 2018 bout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deji claims he can \u201cdrop\u201d Jake Paul after his boxing win over AnEsonGib Deji, DAZN &#8211; YouTubeYouTube star Jake Paul shocked the internet after downing opponent AnEsonGib in the first round of their debut pro boxing match \u2014 but there\u2019s another content creator who has his eyes set on the victor.
