Deji and Alex Wassabi will step in the ring to settle a years-long rivalry tonight at London's OVO Arena Wembley. The duo first began their feud back in 2018, and have been going back-and-forth online since in the hopes of eventually landing a fight together. And they were granted their wish when the new-found Showstar Boxing offered to promote the event, with a host of other YouTubers making up the undercard. Wassabi and Deji will be joined on an eight-fight card by the likes of Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, King Kenny, Faze Temperr and reality TV star Ashley Cain. Fans can watch the event live at the famous London venue, or failing that will be able to view all of the action on pay-per-view.

Who wins; Deji or Alex Wassabi? Let us know your opinion below! Quotes cornerAlex Wassabi : "Honestly, everything he puts out makes me less and less nervous. "Everybody has nerves before a fight, even Mike Tyson said he cried before fights towards the end of his career. "I was starting to feel those nerves once the announcement was made like 'oh, it's happening, it's real now,' and then every single time he puts something out I'm like 'why would he put that out?' "Especially his last video, he quit over and over and over!" Deji: “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 to witness my redemption, damn straight.” Read MoreYouTube star Kristen Hanby laughs off Vitaly's "one-minute KO" prediction for boxing debut Read MoreYouTube star Stromedy names Jake Paul as main inspiration ahead of boxing debut FollowMirror FacebookTwitter MORE ONShowstar BoxingDeji vs Alex Wassabi Get all the boxing & MMA updates you need with our Mirror Fighting email update - sign up hereSign up Invalid EmailSomething went wrong, please try again later.We use your sign-up to provide content in the ways you've consented to and improve our understanding of you.
