I think he's going to come out and let his hands go, and that's fine. That's fine, everyone has a plan to let their hands go. But, I don't think Deji's ever been touched in the way I've touched him... As soon as he walks into it, and he feels what I bring to the table, I think that plan is going to go out the window."

Is Fousey expected to defeat Deji next month

Presently, the upcoming Fousey vs. Deji boxing match is viewed as a coin-flip matchup. To put it mildly, neither man has shown much skill in the boxing ring. The best performance across the two YouTube stars' careers is likely to be Deji's against Jake Paul. In that bout against 'The Problem Child', the Brit showed good power and heart against a much bigger man. While he had early success, he wound up losing via fifth-round TKO, thus preventing fans from witnessing a massive upset. Since that performance, Deji has struggled to show any improvement to his game. On the other end, Fousey's sole boxing match was tough to watch and certainly not a strong outing. While betting odds for this fight haven't been released, if they are, expect it to be a pick-em. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Thank You!
