Wassabi’s ‘cheat’ claims
Wassabi has been accused of elbowing his way to victory over Deji by boxing fans.
“Deji got tobbed, Wassabi used his elbows,” one fan claimed.
While another pondered: “I’m not sure how I feel about the fight. Deji had some good shots, but Wassabi’s elbow was more offensive?”
A third fan even demanded a rematch, saying: “I accept Deji’s right, but if you look closely, Wassabi uses elbows and briefly headlocks Deji. It wasn’t fair, and I believe a rematch is in order.”
Wassabi’s open to fighting KSI
Wassabi has stated that he is open to fighting Deji’s brother KSI in the future.
When asked by YouTube host Fred Talks Fighting if he’d fight KSI, Wassabi replied: “He’s the same size as you.
“Let’s go, he’s a dog and I’m a beast.
“Wouldn’t that be a crazy fight?”
