Deji looked strictly for business at the start of the four two-minute rounds.

However, that quickly unravelled as Savage threw the first meaningful hit.

But the fight that should never have been made ended in a shambles.

Deji was returning after 18 months out but looked dreadful against winless Savage.

The 27-year-old, who is KSI’s younger brother, did knock his opponent down in the third round but it wasn’t scored a knockdown.

Savage then fell to the ground like a sack of potatoes under some pressure and complained of injury before the fight was waved off.

And Misfits fans have lambasted the bout as “rigged.”

One wrote: “This was handpicked to get Deji another win. Embarrassing fight.”

Another said: “The most fixed thing I’ve ever seen.”

A third added: “Deji you fixed your own fight.”

One more wrote: “Come on brother. That was a set-up.”

A fifth replied: “And people call Jake Paul’s fight rigged 🤣.”

While another declared: “One of the most bizarre knockouts in Misfits history.”

However, such claims have come only from disgruntled fans on social media with there being no suggestion from anybody involved that the fight was actually rigged.

Deji was clearly disappointed with the manner of his win and made that clear on social media later.

He wrote on X: “Disappointed with that performance but we go again!!

 

“Love to all those who supported me.”

Savage, 26, is now 0-7 after the fight tonight, while Deji himself moves to 3-4.
