The Olatunji brothers, Deji and KSI, have come a long way in their respective careers. From screaming and playing video games in front of a camera, to fighting one of the greatest boxers of all time and owning a phenomenally successful brand respectively.

But there was a time when KSI and Deji were just two brothers having fun in their rooms. They used to play video games, do weird challenges, and like every other sibling in the world, they used to scream at each other.

There was also a time when Deji had beaten KSI in the boxing ring, even without stepping into the ring. Yes! It had happened way before they had donned the boxing gloves in the professional rings.

Back in the simpler times, Deji and KSI were casual YouTubers who were just having some fun on the platform. They used to challenge each other in different ways, just to get an upper hand on the other. But still, at this time, their biggest concern was who had better skills in video games, Deji or KSI?

KSI and Deji were almost parallel to each other in the games. The competition between them was hilarious to watch. They played against each other in multiple mini-games like tennis, sprint, and even boxing. 

In the Boxing mini-game on Nintendo, KSI was playing as Donkey Kong and Deji chose Knuckles. At first Donkey Kong had the upper hand in the ring. But as the bell rang and the second round began, the tables were turned.
