YouTube fighter Fousey has shown off a new ripped physique after undergoing a sensational eight-month transformation ahead of his ring return.
FouseyTube - real name Yousef Arakat - has fought just once in the boxing ring, losing to fellow content creator Slim in the fourth round after his corner elected to throw in the towel. After previously going on a lengthy social media hiatus, Arakat has since made a return to training and fitness and announced a return to boxing earlier this month.
And the 32-year-old has since posted a video of himself unimpressed with his larger physique before now posing in the mirror with a muscly and toned eight-pack. Fousey initially said: "One day I am going to be holding this and I will have an eight-pack again." The video later shows him tensing his new toned physique as he eyes a future shot at redemption.
Arakat has continued to post on YouTube throughout his weight-loss journey where he shot to fame for having 250,000 subscribers. Fans became familiar with his acting and pranking videos on the site that earned him a shot during the YouTube charity tournament against Slim.
An upcoming opponent is yet to be named for his latest outing, but has since called out British YouTuber Deji who recently lost to the American's long-time friend Alex Wassabi. Arakat posted on Twitter : "Yo Deji you have 3 L's. I have the biggest L in YouTube boxing history. You said I'm an easy opponent during Social Gloves right? Me vs you this year. No excuses. Who wants their first win more?"

Arakat knocked out friend Wassabi during a sparring session in 2019 and the pair met up at his showdown with Deji to discuss their previous meeting. However Arakat is not keen to revisit a clash with Wassabi despite enjoying the better of their training session.
"That was a long time ago," Fousey said of their spar. "I sparred Alex before he had ever trained. I felt his power back then, he hadn't trained a day in his life, I love that he's getting underestimated because everyone is going to have a plan to beat this guy until they get punched in the face.
"He's wanted to get back in the ring again - never - he's wanted to for years, I'm the one who said no because I was touched by his hands then. That's how confident I am in him, I do not want to see him in the ring."
The YouTube star has opted to stay away from the ring since his defeat. but is now confident for his return. "My ego doesn't get in front of reality," he previously explained. "My nose broke pretty badly in the first one. It's not really worth it for me so I put my ego behind me now and just enjoy the atmosphere."
