Deji Olatunji batters Swarmz in shut out display on KSI vs Fournier undercard
Deji bounced back from his loss to Floyd Mayweather in style.
Deji Olataunji outclassed Swarmz in a mature performance to earn a unanimous decision victory on the Misfits Boxing 007 co-main event. KSI's brother won all four rounds on two of the scorecards and three on the other (40-36, 40-36, 39-37).
After a bright start from Swarmz, Deji came into his own and began using his superior footwork to corner his foe. While Swarmz winged big punches over the top, Deji kept things tight and compact, not panicking when he ate a few big shots early on.
In the second, Deji showed great patience as he stalked and waited for his openings. A few hard digs to the body got the rapper's attention and began to drain his gas tank.
As he grew in confidence, Deji started to really pour on the pressure and got into it with Swarmz on the inside.
For the most part, it was a case of Swarmz getting trapped in the corner, covering up and throwing a few hard right hooks in the hopes of backing off Deji. But the YouTube star continued on completely unphased by what was coming back at him.
This would continue for all four rounds with Deji improving to 2-4 as a boxer after being awarded the victory. Meanwhile, Swarmz falls to 1-2.

Following Deji and Swarmz's post-fight interviews, the lights dimmed and the sound of The Undertaker's entrance music filled Wembley Arena. All of a sudden Mariachi band burst into song as Luis Pineda emerged from the darkness to call out Swarmz in a very WWE-esque promo.
However, the rapper had already exited the stage leaving Pineda without the exchange he needed to build hype for the fight.
