YouTube star Deji's brother KSI made a secret phone call on the eve of his fourth boxing outing which pushed him towards his first win inside the ring.
The social media sensation went 0-3 in the YouTube boxing world, including suffering humiliating stoppages against Jake Paul and male model Vinnie Hacker, before landing his first victory this summer. As recently as this March, he hadn't clicked with a style or team, and had lost to Alex Wassabi by split decision, much to his brother's disappointment.
KSI, whose real name is JJ Olatunji, is the perennially successful older brother whose constant successes have made Deji's defeats seem all the more crushing. He didn't let his brother lose a fight without a scolding public post, and decided to take a softer approach heading into his third bout this summer against Yusef 'Fousey' Erakat on his undercard in London.
