And this was following a fifth round loss courtesy of Jake Paul back in 2018 on the undercard of KSI vs Logan Paul.
But now, KSI's little brother is hoping to prove to his 9.8 million subscribers that he can bounce back from losing his "Battle of the Platforms" bout.
However, challenger Wassabi previously announced that he had been training for years which makes it an intriguing match-up.

What has been said?
Deji has said: “I’m going to be fighting main event on the Showstar UK vs USA event at the Wembley SSE Arena.
"Alex Wassabi, you desperate f***er. You got your wish, I’m going to bury your already dead career.
“You ran from my bro but there’s no escaping me – I’m going to put you to sleep on that canvas, March 5th.
“I want to see all my fans there."
Alex Wassabi replied: "That's his mindset, it's all mental with him and it's hard to talk about because I want this to be a good fight.
"I would rather win a decision than win by first round knockout because I want it to be an epic battle – this is my first fight!"
