YouTube sensation Deji emerged victorious in his recent bout against rapper Swarmz during the seventh Misfits Boxing card, marking his first taste of “professional” boxing.
According to News About Nigeria, Deji’s dominance over his opponent was evident, as he displayed superior skills and emerged as the clear winner of the match.
The triumph garnered praise from John Fury, the father of Tommy Fury, who acknowledged Deji’s exceptional performance. Fury Sr. likened Deji’s boxing prowess to that of a seasoned professional with six years of experience.
Tommy Fury, alongside his father John, watched the fight and was highly impressed by the level of skill demonstrated by Deji.
Fury Sr. commended both brothers, KSI and Deji, stating that Deji’s improvement was noteworthy. He highlighted Deji’s significant progress and commended his ability to strategize, analyze his shots, and deliver them with precision.
Observing Deji’s commitment to boxing properly, Fury Sr. praised the brothers for their dedication and tenacity. He acknowledged their novice status but emphasized their willingness to give their all in the ring, ultimately achieving success. Fury Sr. expressed his admiration for their efforts and acknowledged the entertainment value they brought to the sport.
In a parallel development, KSI, Deji’s brother, also secured a controversial victory on the same night against Joe Fournier. KSI faced accusations of using an elbow, rather than his fist, in the final blow that led to his win.
Following his recent triumph, Deji expressed a newfound sense of confidence and revealed his interest in facing Liam Payne. Initially considering an exhibition match with Manny Pacquiao, Deji’s growing self-assurance now prompts him to set his sights on a bout against Payne.

He expressed gratitude towards the enthusiastic crowd in attendance and those watching from home. Deji also expressed his interest in potentially fighting Liam Payne, should the opportunity arise.
