Deji next fight: Misfits Boxing 19 rumours

Popular UK social media star Deji is confirmed to be making his return to the ring for Misfits Boxing 19, but the identity of his opponent remains unknown.

Brother of Misfits CEO KSI, Deji is one of the biggest draws in the influencer boxing sphere, previously taking on the likes of Jake Paul, Alex Wassabi and even Floyd Mayweather.

Approaching a year-and-a-half since he beat Swarmz at Misfits Boxing 7, Deji has signed up to compete in the organisation's Qatar supercard on 28th November headlined by AnEsonGib v Slim Albaher.

With the identity of Deji's opponent still unclear, we take a look at everything you need to know about the British YouTuber's upcoming fight.

Deji next fight - Opponent rumours

Although the identity of Deji's opponent on the Misfits Qatar supercard remains a mystery, there are a number of rumours floating about with regards to who it could be.

Mexican Luis Pineda has become a well-known face on Misfits, suffering a knockout as one of KSI's two opponents at the very first Misfits Boxing event in August 2022 before going on to achieve wins against BDave, Ice Poseidon and Ed Matthews.

Pineda has represented a 'mystery opponent' on Misfits cards before, and the organisation may view the Mexican as an intriguing match-up for Deji for the Qatar supercard.

A rematch against American influencer Alex Wassabi would also be a popular fight amongst fans, with Deji losing via split decision in the pair's original bout at the SSE Arena in London in March 2022.

The Brit has made notable strides in his boxing career since his first meeting with Wassabi two years ago and he would likely relish an opportunity to avenge his loss against his American rival under the Misfits banner.

Deji recently dropped the biggest hint yet with regards to his upcoming opponent on an online interview, stating that they hailed from the United Arab Emirates.

UK YouTuber and streamer Danny Aarons recently confirmed he was offered to fight Deji in Qatar but turned down the proposal due to a lack of notice.
