Jake Paul and Deji began their boxing journey with ‘each other’, Paul was the first opponent of Deji and vice-versa. After their first fight, Paul’s road led him to face professional boxer Tommy Fury while Deji went on to face the legend Floyd Mayweather Jr., in an exhibition bout in Saudi Arabia. Both of them have been making a name for themselves, and even currently, both influencer boxers have their next fight lined up. Deji will be facing British rapper Swarmz in a boxing fight on May 13th, 2023. And on the other side, Jake Paul is scheduled to go against former UFC fighter Nate Diaz on August 5th, 2023.
Recently, Deji has claimed that he wants to fight Paul again in his current state. Back in 2018, Jake Paul stopped Deji in the fifth round and both of them were fighting on their elder brothers’ undercard, Logan Paul and KSI respectively. But now Deji believes that he can take on Paul.
