He lost against Vinnie Hacker during the YouTubers vs TikTokers card in summer 2021, and was also defeated by Alex Wassabi earlier this year, causing a row between the American YouTuber and his big bro KSI that still has yet to be resolved. However, Deji would make a huge comeback in August 2022 on the undercard of KSI\u2019s \u2018two fights, one night\u2019 event with his match against Fouseytube.

I was an 0-3 fighter. People just telling me that \u2018This isn\u2019t for you.\u2019 You shouldn\u2019t be boxing. You should give up.’\u201d \u201cI had people doubt me. Tell me they don\u2019t see any chance of victory for me. And now look at me. I\u2019m about to share the ring with the greatest boxer of all time. So yeah, guys. If there\u2019s anything you should take from my journey, it\u2019s don\u2019t give up.\u201d Deji will take on Floyd Mayweather on November 13 in Dubai at the Coca-Cola Arena \u2014 but Jake Paul is adamant that the boxing legend face off against him in the ring, next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
