Mid-fight, in order to demonstrate his stamina against a 45-year-old Mayweather past his prime, Deji did push-ups inside the ring. According to Deji, his push-ups pissed Mayweather off during their fight. Although Deji admitted that doing push-ups during the fight was cringe, he nonetheless did it, thanks to the motivation received from his boxing coach Daley.

In the latest episode of What’s Good Podcast, Deji opened up about pissing off ‘TBE.’ “What really pissed him off though was when I did the push-ups. I know it was cringe, alright? I know the push-ups were cringe. Daley said just do it but me doing that pissed him off,” he said. Despite his crowd-pulling push-ups Deji could not defeat ‘Money’.
Deji’s own analysis regarding his push-ups at the Mayweather fight made the hosts of What’s Good Podcast laugh. With this loss to ‘Money’, he now stands with an unimpressive record of 4 losses and only 1 win.

Although Deji failed, his elder brother and fellow YouTuber KSI believed had he fought ‘TBE’ he would certainly win. According to KSI, Deji lacked the mindset to defeat ‘TBE”. However, KSI said that with the perfect training, Deji could be the best boxer in YouTube history. “Deji got beat up for six rounds. It was the same situation with Alex Wassabi. He just needs to get the mindset right. I know he didn’t put 100 per cent into the training,” said KSI after the fight.
“I think Deji could be the best boxer in YouTube history and he just doesn’t do it. I feel like Deji could have done way more,” added KSI after Mayweather vs. Deji. Mayweather, even before the Deji fight, announced that he would return to the UK in 2023. However, Deji is yet to speak about his plans moving forward with boxing.
