      He managed to back Swarmz onto the ropes for much of the action, landing catchy body shots and uppercuts.
      Deji, 26, was the busier and more accurate of the two, deservedly winning on points before calling out One Direction superstar Liam Payne.
      He said: “I’ve heard Liam Payne is here. I wanna fight someone from One Direction.
      “Everyone who has come out, thank you. And everyone watching at home, thank you.”

      It was Deji’s first bout since facing Floyd Mayweather in a shock exhibition in November.
      He was beaten in six rounds by the boxing legend in Dubai and called out other icons of the sport like Manny Pacquiao.
      But his anticipated return came against musician Swarmz – real name Brandon Scott.
      Swarmz had suffered an embarrassing loss to KSI in August in a fight he took on two weeks notice.

      But he came back with victory over online rival Ryan Taylor and hunted revenge on KSI and his brother.

      And he has already eyed up Fury as his next opponent – and it appears both are on board.
      The 2019 Love Islander rocked up in London to much fanfare and kickstarted his scouting mission of KSI.
      KSI had hoped to finally settle his bitter score with Jake Paul this year but Fury gave those plans the KO by beating the American.
      And Paul has since snubbed a rematch or talks with KSI to instead return on August 5 against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz.

      So KSI has vowed not to wait around and will instead try to finish what his great nemesis started.
      The Londoner has not only revealed that he wants to fight Fury next, but in fact the two are closing in on a deal to meet in the ring.
      And Fury’s dad and coach John also confirmed that negotiations are nearing completion.
      He said live on DAZN: We’re talking to his people, they are talking to me, we’re close.”

      The lights went out and The Undertaker’s music started playing.
      Once the lights returned, the Mexican crowd favourite was stood in the middle of the ring.
      And, for some reason, he decided to challenge the loser of the bout Swarmz instead of Deji.
      Deji’s thoughts
      “My confidence in the ring has grown. I was having fun out there. It was an amazing crowd. Everyone that came out and watching at home, thank you.
      “I heard Liam Payne is in here. I wouldn’t mind fighting him.“

      It was his second victory and just the response he was looking for after losing to Floyd Mayweather last time out.

      Was it an elbow?
      It looked like it could’ve been an elbow.
      KSI refutes that it was an elbow. But he was going to win anyway, let’s be honest.
      And the night ends just how we thought it would. With Tommy Fury jumping into the ring and squaring off with KSI.
      Both men want the fight, and that should be all that is needed to make it happen this summer.

      It’s over
      KSI has knocked out Joe Fournier with a huge punch in the second round.
      There was no getting up from that.
      The roof nearly came off the Wembley Arena.
      The place is rocking
      The fighters are in the ring for the main event.
      Kieran Davies is on the call for us and has you covered. CLICK HERE for all the action.
      Fury return
      We’ve just seen Tommy Fury return to his seat at ringside after being involved in a brawl earlier.
      He’s smiling and posing for photos with fans again. Let’s hope things have diffused over there because it was ugly for a while.
      One bout left
      Just the main event to go now – KSI and Joe Fournier are making their final preparations backstage.
      Call out
      Pineda called out Swarmz. It’s a bit odd to call out the loser.
      He even marched down the ramp to confront Swarmz, who swiftly disappeared backstage.
      The Mexican said in the ring: “Swarmz I want the smoke, vamos b***h.”
      What just happened?
      Ok, we just had a mental moment in here.
      The lights in Wembley Arena went out for a few moments and it looked like a power cut.
      But then The Undertaker’s music began playing.
      And when the lights came back on – Pineda was in the ring.
      Deji says
      “My confidence in the ring has grown. I was having fun out there. It was an amazing crowd. Everyone that came out and watching at home, thank you.
      “I heard Liam Payne is in here. I wouldn’t mind fighting him.”

      Deji wins
      It’s a unanimous decision, 40-36, 40-36 and 39-37 on the scorecards.
      Ding, ding, ding
      It’s over. We go to the scorecards.
      Deji looks to have done enough here to win on points. Swarmz had some moments but they were few and far between.
      We’re about to find out on the scorecards.
      Round three
      Better from Swarmz in that round and he had Deji in trouble for a moment.
      The better work probably still came from Deji there.
      Three rounds down, one to go.

      Round two
      Huge roars as Deji backs Swarmz into the corner.
      He really took control of this fight in the second round and looks too good for Swarmz.
      It must be said, Swarmz looks in better shape and a lot better than when he fought KSI in Misfits 001 last August.
      End of the first
      A tight and tense start. I’d probably give Deji the edge in that opening round.
      He is the smaller man but the aggressor for sure.
      Swarmz is on the back foot and looking to invite his man on but not really doing enough when they engage.
      Seconds out
      We’re underway – round one!
      The intros
      Swarmz is being booed as his name is read out to the crowd.
      Deji, meanwhile, looks cool, calm and collected in his purple shorts with blue trim as he’s introduced.
      We’re just about ready to go.
      Dressed to impress
      Swarmz is dressed in a white robe with blue trim on his way to the ring.
      Next up is Deji, and he’s getting a huge ovation from the crowd.
      Here we go
      Swarmz is on his way to the ring.
      We’re just about ready for tonight’s chief support.
      While we wait
      It’s been a bit rowdy at ringside in here tonight.
      First boxer Isaac Lowe was seen being dragged away from ringside by security with a ripped shirt.
      And just now, Tommy Fury and Idris Virgo had a brawl which needed to be broken up.
      Next up
      Anthony Taylor has got the win over Salt Papi by unanimous decision in a bit of an upset.
      Up next is Deji vs Swarmz.
      Where we’re at
      The fourth bout of the evening between Anthony Taylor and Salt Papi is currently in progress.
      We’re just headed into round number three.
      Next up is our fight between Deji and Swarmz.
      Swarmz story so far
      Swarmz is getting into the ring for just the third time tonight.
      He also fought on the first Misfits card last August in London, where he was easily beaten by KSI.
      The Londoner got his first win when he beat Ryan Taylor at this Wembley Arena venue last time out.
      That victory came back in January, on the undercard of KSI’s last Misfits PPV event.
