YouTube star Deji splashed out on new houses after losing to Jake Paul

Jake Paul Deji KSI Logan Alex Wassabi Fousey JJ Olatunji Viddal Riley

Deji has opened up on the properties he purchased after receiving a career-high payday for his white-collar defeat by Jake Paul.

The YouTube star has fought several times in the boxing ring alongside his content-creation career, facing the likes of Paul and Alex Wassabi. His stint in the squared circle began with a points defeat by Paul back in 2018, which served as the chief support fight for the duel between his brother KSI - real name JJ Olatunji - and Paul's brother Logan.

It is predicted that Paul earned a lucrative £2.2million payday from the fight, which was one of his biggest prior to his recent main-event bouts in the professional ranks. And Deji has revealed that it was his career-high pay cheque during a YouTube video with Viddal Riley.
