Oladeji “Deji” Daniel Olatunji aka Deji is an American YouTuber and an Influencer. He is the Younger brother of KSI and just like him, he is also a professional boxer. Deji made his boxing debut as a co-main event in the KSI vs Logan Paul card. 

After that, he had two amateur bouts, one against Vinnie Hacker and one against Alex Wassabi. Deji made his professional boxing debut against fellow YouTuber FouseyTube. He won the match with a TKO. Deji is now set for his next exhibition fight, which can also be considered his biggest ever, with the boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr.
