Deji, the younger brother of KSI, ended his long wait for a victory by stopping Fousey in the third round of their clash.

Fousey – real name Yousef Saleh Erakat – took some punishing blows before his team mercifully threw in the towel.

The 32-year-old’s left eye was completely closed shut, much to the concern of viewers.

One tweeted: “Where is Fousey’s eye?”

Another said: “Fousey broke his cheekbone and his nose and something wrong with his eye socket?”

And another said: “Fousey’s eye bruh holy S***T.”

One remarked: “Deji really f****d this Fousey up now he got that blackened eye like SpongeBob.”

A dejected Fousey offered no excuses for his defeat, saying: “I might not be the best fighter in the world but when it comes to a fighter in life I know I will win every single time.
