British Youtuber Deji Olatunji stepped inside the boxing ring in 2018, as he fought in the undercard of his brother KSI’s match with Logan Paul.

The Youtuber turned boxer recently shed some light on his last fight with Fousey, and said, “What was going through my head, so I can tell you this much, I did not hear the crowd. People keep telling me that this was the loudest fight, I didn’t even hear the crowd. I couldn’t hear the crowd like none of it. Honestly, it was insane. See a handsome black guy dropped Fousey nice with a jab.”

Following that, he further added, “For my previous fights like I fought Alex Wassabi, Jake Paul, I was kind of pacing myself. I was worrying too much about it, I was just keeping it. I was basically putting all my eggs in that basket, instead of like doing other things, to kind of cater towards the fight that makes sense.”
