YouTube star Deji has been laser-focused on finally picking up a boxing win on his fourth attempt, and admits that he has neglected fight promotion as a result.
The Brit, whose brother KSI will fight two men on the same night at The O2 arena on Saturday night either side of his return, has gone 0-3 in the YouTube boxing space, including losses to Jake Paul and Alex Wassabi. He is now set to face Yusef 'Fousey' Erakat, who lost his 2019 debut to Slim Albaher, with the winner finally getting a victory after a collective four fights.
But in order to get laser-focused ahead of this weekend, Deji has opted not to post to his 10million+ subscriber YouTube channel with regularity and put his head down in training. He was under-trained for his debut against Paul and his embarrassing second loss to model Vinnie Hacker, but has been working hard with trainer Daley Perales since his camp for Wassabi and is now fitter than ever.
