YOUTUBER Deji left fellow social media star Fousey with a horrific black eye after their boxing match.
The pair clashed on the undercard of KSI’s back-to-back fights with Swarmz and Luis Pineda on Saturday night.
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.
