YOUTUBE star Deji finally recorded his first win in the boxing ring – and did so in brutal style.
The Londoner, who shot to fame as the younger brother of KSI, had lost his previous three bouts.
And Fousey was also a 0-1 winless fighter, meaning both were desperate to taste victory for the first time.
But the American was simply no match for southpaw Deji, who dominated from the first round onwards.
Deji, 25, said: “I have the best team ever. I have Daley, the best boxing coach ever, ever.
“I have Leon, the best PT in the game and I have everyone out there showing their love. And that brought me out.”

Deji came out rapidly, swarming Fousey from the first bell and landed a big right hook.
The pressure continued into the second, and Deji scored several lead right hooks and straight left.
He even dropped Fousey, 32, with a jab and the writing looked on the walls.
Deji wasted no time in closing the show in round three, rocking Fousey’s head back with a big left before the towel came in.

The gamer had lost to Jake Paul, Vinnie Hacker and Alex Wassabi in his previous bouts.
But he won on what was technically his professional debut and called out Bryce Hall, who lost to Austin McBroom in 2021.
Deji said: “Whoever, I want to fight anyone. And I know Bryce Hall’s there, so Bryce Hall, if you want to fight, let’s go.”
