Deji explains why he\u2019s boxing on KSI undercard despite previously quitting YouTube: DejiBritish YouTuber Deji Olatunji has admitted that he\u2019s fighting on his brother KSI\u2019s upcoming fight card because can\u2019t stay away from boxing even though he is yet to pick up a win. Over the years, a number of YouTubers have dipped their toe into the world of boxing by having at least one fight \u2013 with many of them deciding that one fight is enough, regardless of whether they win or lose. In the case of Deji, he\u2019s stepped into the boxing ring three times and lost three times \u2013 first to Jake Paul, then to Vinnie Hacker, and most recently, Alex Wassabi. While the British YouTuber said he\u2019d be quitting the sport and giving up trying to claim a win of his own, he\u2019s actually fighting on the August 27th card that\u2019s headlined by his brother KSI. Why, you might ask? Well, he\u2019s trying to set an example for others. Deji returns to YouTube ahead of August 27 fight On July 30, Deji made his return to YouTube by posting his first video since losing to Alex Wassabi as he addressed the fact that he\u2019ll be fighting Fousey on that star-studded fight card. \u201cI know I said I wasn\u2019t going to fight again but I just love the sport too much and I just don\u2019t give up, I can\u2019t do it,\u201d Deji told his viewers. \u201cI\u2019m doing this for myself, I don\u2019t really care if people are like \u2018don\u2019t fight again\u2019 I want to fight again, so I\u2019m doing it, as simple as that. \u201cI just don\u2019t give up and I also want to show other people not to give up too. So that\u2019s why I want to set an example because I know a lot of people that have given up and it has gone the wrong way but I want to show that\u2026 look at me, I don\u2019t give up.\u201d While some would probably forgive him for taking an easy fight, Deji isn\u2019t doing that. Fousey has plenty of in-ring experience of his own, and even KSI acknowledged it\u2019ll be a tough test for his brother. If he does get his long-awaited win then it\u2019s really anyone\u2019s guess of whether he\u2019d look to keep fighting or finally hang up the gloves for good. So, we\u2019ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
