      Who is Deji?
      Deji Olatunji, 25, is best known by his YouTube handle Comedy Shorts Gamer, before winning the first boxing match of his career.
      He joined YouTube in December 2011 uploading gameplay videos but has since expanded into challenges and various prank vlogs.
      His channel has amassed more than 10.6 million subscribers.
      Deji has also co-starred with his brother KSI, whose legal name is Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, as Freddie in the 2016 comedy Laid in America.
      Deji released his own clothing line, Tank, in late 2014 – the website is currently under maintenance.
      The apparel company is based out of San Francisco, California, and according to the main website page, its “mission [is] to spread love and kindness to as many people, around the world as possible.”
      The site continues: “The best part is that we’re using clothing to do it while giving back along the way. Apparel is literally everywhere, all the time, and we believe love and kindness should be too.
      “Nobody deserves to feel alone in this world … If you believe in love and kindness as much as we believe in you, then together we will change the world!”
      In the first blowout of his career, he stepped out of the shadows in his first boxing win against Fousey on August 27, 2022 and played in the Sidemen vs YouTube All Stars football match.
      Is Deji on social media?
      Deji is on a number of social media platforms.
      You can find him on Instagram @comedygamer with a total of 3 million followers.
      Deji is also on YouTube @ComedyShortsGamer and Twitter @Deji
      Does Deji have a girlfriend?
      It’s unclear of Deji has a new girlfriend but his ex, Dounja ‘Dunjahh’ Akoudad, certainly caused stir on social media.
      Akoudad was a popular Twitch streamer going by the name of Dunjahh on the channel.
      Her YouTube journey saw her amass over 288 000 subscribers but it quickly came crashing down after the young star was embroiled in racist remarks.
      In a stream during WesleyTW, Akoudad made some careless remarks regarding race and noses.
      Upon making these remarks, Akoudad is seen laughing angering viewers and causing her to delete her social media accounts after the backlash

      When did he fight Jake Paul?
      Deji squared off in his first-ever amateur boxing fight against fellow YouTuber, Jake Paul, on August 25, 2022, at the Manchester Arena.
      most read in TV & Showbiz
      He ultimately lost the match but told Paul he would be open to fighting again in the future.
      Two days later Deji went up against YouTuber Fousey, earning his first boxing victory since he started competing in 2018.
      Deji responded to the win on Twitter, writing: “I have the best team ever. Daley’s the best boxing coach ever. I have Leon, the best PT in the game. And I have everyone out there showing their love, and that brought me up.”
      He continued: “I want to say thank you to everyone in here, and the millions watching at home as well. Thank you.”
      Fousey responded to the posting, writing: “Congratulations Deji, you’ll hear it from me first, congratulations. You deserved this one.”
      In reaction to Deji’s first win, Paul tweeted: “DEJI IS AN UNDEFEATED PROFESSIONAL BOXER.”
      He is the younger brother of KSICredit: Instagram
      Who is Deji’s brother, KSI?
      Deji’s older brother, Olajide William Olatunji, better known by KSI, is the UK’s biggest YouTuber with over 19 million subscribers.
      He first uploaded videos in 2009, posting recordings of himself playing video games, usually FIFA, before uploading them on YouTube.
      His following skyrocketed, reaching over four billion views, and bringing in revenue from YouTube partnership programs.
      He told The Telegraph in a 2014 interview that he wasn’t concerned with the money he receives, saying he has “an agent for that,” adding: “I’m not business-minded.”
      “Fifa is my baby,” he continued. “I have to pinch myself sometimes… I am living a lifestyle most guys my age would love to lead, playing computer games and earning good money.”
      KSI earned an NME Award for Vlogger of the Year in 2016 and has released two EPs as a rapper, with both topping the UK R&B Albums Chart.
      He went on to begin his amateur boxing career in 2018 with a third-round technical knockout victory over fellow YouTube star Joe Weller. More

      I went from making videos in my bedroom to having all the money I need – now it’s time to give back, says KSI

      by

      KSI has completed the stunning rise from a teenage gamer in his bedroom to multimillionaire superstar – now he wants to give back. The 29-year-old – real name Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji – started his YouTube channel in 2009.

      And over a decade later, KSI has become a pioneer of the social media site, with over 40 MILLION subscribers.
      His content creation has taken him into the world of movies, music and now boxing, earning him a reported net worth of around £20m.
      But after making enough to cash one could ever wish for, KSI tells SunSport inspiring others is now his main focus.
      In an exclusive interview, he said: “I think once I made a certain amount of money, I kind of got to the point where I was like, I’m happy, I’m comfortable, I can do whatever I want, I have that freedom.

      “So it’s like, OK now that I’ve made a decent amount, why don’t I just do more with my legacy?
      “Show the world that a boy who started in his bedroom can just become whatever he wants if he really puts his mind to something. 
      “And with that, I want to help more people, do more charity work, do more on the ground just to really help as many people as I can as well as making videos to entertain. 
      “As well as knocking people out and showing people that you can make something of your life, be healthy, be strong and just be a better person in general.

      “That’s what I feel like life is all about, just being a better person throughout this journey of life.” 
      KSI, 29, returns to the boxing ring tonight against millionaire nightclub tycoon-turned 9-0 boxer Joe Fournier, 40, on DAZN PPV.
      And he does so amid the sensational rise of his drinks company Prime, launched with old rival and now business partner Logan Paul, 28.
      KSI also continues to upload videos to his own YouTube channels all while running his newly-founded promotional company Misfits Boxing.
      But still the internet sensation somehow finds time to attend to all his various ventures – unlike others in the business.
      He said: “It’s all based on yourself, if you want to put more work in, if you want to put more drive into something, you can do it. 
      “After training, I find some time to show, eat, and then I make a video.
      “Then I play games and I’ll make another video if I really want to, or I’ll see what my schedule is saying.

      “I make time for everything, there’s what 24 hours in a day and you’re sleeping for what, eight hours of it? That’s 16 hours to do a lot. 
      “I’m training for about three hours, that’s stil 13 hours to do stuff. Are you telling me there’s no time to do anything else? 
      “I feel like, I’ve said it before there’s certain influencers, especially in the boxing scene that are being lazy, simple as that. 
      “They’re taking money and just being happy with that, I’m just thee trying to be the blueprint of you can be more and get more because of it.” 
      KSI knocked out gamer Faze Temperrr, 29, in January and his post-fight interview was gatecrashed by Fournier, 40, who demanded he be next.
      So he accepted the challenge and faces the biggest test in his boxing career against an opponent with prior professional experience.
      KSI said: “He wanted it the most. He’s a pro boxer, 9-0 and I thought, ‘Yeah, screw it, why not?’
      “Even after I knocked out Temperrr, he was there, in the ring, constantly getting in my face like, ‘I want this fight.’

      “He wanted to fight me, I had options but he wanted it the most so I was like, ‘Cool, let’s go, I love the challenge.’
      “So let’s see what he can do.”

      I was drinking and doing drugs before boxing showed up out of nowhere and saved me, says Jake Paul

      by

      JAKE PAUL has opened up on how boxing prevented him from his life spiralling out of control on drink and drugs. The American shot to fame on social media app Vine and later YouTube along with his brother Logan.
      Jake Paul formerly lived a life of partyingCredit: @jakepaul
      And in pursuit of fame and fortune, both moved to Los Angeles where their life moved in the fast lane.
      But it almost became too much for Paul until thankfully a shock career in boxing helped turn his life around.
      He bravely told DAZN: “I was drinking, doing drugs, doing all sorts of crazy s*** in Los Angeles, not being myself. 
      “Because that’s what happens when you’re drinking like that and doing those things like that.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      “I needed something to save me and boxing showed up out of nowhere. 
      “I definitely worry – that side of me is the Problem Child side of me – that can get involved in those of things. 
      “But everybody has a story and I’m just now comfortable telling that story because I was kind of embarrassed by it. 
      “I didn’t know if I could talk about those things, I didn’t want to say that I had those problems or was doing those things. 
      Most read in Boxing
      “But I was like, if I can share my story about that and finding boxing and saving me then maybe someone else will be able to relate.” 
      Paul, 26, made his professional boxing debut in 2020, beating online rival AnEsonGib.
      It kickstarted a polarising prizefighting career which has seen the social media sensation headline around the world.
      He even moved out of LA in late 2020 to rid of any distractions, since building an isolated base in Puerto Rico.
      Paul has wins over ex-MMA champions Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 41, and Anderson Silva, 48.
      But he was beaten in his last bout in February by boxer Tommy Fury, 23, losing a split-decision in Saudi Arabia.
      Paul now returns on August 5 in Texas against ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, in a bid to prove he can bounce back from defeat.
      And having seen boxing change his life, the Most Valuable Promotions boss insisted he will be a mainstay in the sport.
      Read More on The Sun
      Paul said: “One hundred per cent, always. Promoting fights, helping fighters, using my platform. 
      “I’ve even thought about getting my referee’s licence. Wouldn’t that be funny? Wouldn’t that be funny, if I’m like in the ring, refitting a match?”

      But tempers boiled over when the two came head-to-head just a few hours before they are due to share the ring.
      The rivals went nose-to-nose – bumping foreheads – before breaking away to pose for pictures.

      But suddenly KSI shoved Fournier, which forced security to get in between them.
      KSI, 29, returns in the biggest test of his career against the nightclub tycoon-turned 9-0 boxer

      And Fournier, 40, insisted the social media sensation is feeling the pressure of the moment and lashing out was evidence to that.
      He said: “I think he’s scared and insecure, he’s not been there with a real fighter before.
      “I think his emotions are boiling over which is exactly the strategy we want, we want him coming out swinging.
      “That makes even bigger mistakes earlier on and we’re not trying to be here all night, we’re trying to get him out of there in the first round.”

      KSI last fought in January, knocking out gamer Faze Temperrr, 29, to take his record in the ring to five wins and one draw.
      Fournier meanwhile has not boxed in a professional capacity since 2017 but faced musician Reykon and ex-heavyweight champion David Haye in 2021.
      But the businessman and boxer claimed he is in the best shape of his life – partly due to cutting out SEX in training camp.
      Fournier revealed: “I couldn’t be any better. I’ve sparred the best guys I could find, I’ve trained twice a day.
      “I’ve stopped the alcohol for six weeks, I stopped the shagging for a month – which was very difficult for me!
      “And yeah, I’m focussed, I’m ready and I really want to win, actually.
      “That’s the reality, from the bottom of my heart I really want to win this fight, because it could be my last one.
      “It could be the one I retire off, so let’s go out with a bang, Wembley Arena, West London where I grew up.”
