YouTube star Deji would love his "dream" fight with musician Justin Bieber to feature on the undercard of a potential clash between KSI and Jake Paul.
The British content creator will take on a huge test this weekend when he takes on boxing legend Floyd Mayweather at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. Deji has been fighting in the boxing ring for several years now but finally picked up his first win against Fousey back in August after losing to Paul, TikTok star Vinnie Hacker and rival Alex Wassabi.
There are opportunities for further huge fights in the future including on the huge potential YouTube card which could be created if his brother KSI settles his rivalry with Paul. And the YouTube star initially named former rival Hacker as his dream fight before identifying Bieber as a potential showdown due to his boxing training footage.
"Me vs Justin Bieber, that would be a massive win for me right," Deji responded on the Rils & Wils podcast when asked about his ultimate boxing card including his brother's potential clash with Paul. "Yeah me vs Bieber." The Canadian musician is one of the most famous songwriters in the world and has risen to huge fame during his career.
However it is not only music that Bieber has a talent for, with the Canadian also known to have skill with a pair of gloves on - and he has received boxing training in the past. The 28-year-old has huge influence in the social media world and has even previously called out actor Tom Cruise to a clash in the UFC octagon.
Bieber has even been tipped to follow in the footsteps of Paul and launch a career as a professional fighter after showing off his hand speed during videos, while filming a documentary about boxing promoter Dmitry Salita. "From what I've seen of Justin Bieber, he has the talent and the boxing skill to crossover from an entertainment background into boxing - he has the ability to become the next Jake Paul, " screenwriter Gregory Allen Howard told Vegas Insider.

"I saw Justin spar and he's got skills. I'm not telling you he's ready to be the middleweight champion of the world but he’s not bad. The hard thing in a boxing movie is to move like a boxer. Justin Bieber apparently was taking some lessons, he was really quite credible. There's a little clip of him on YouTube or something. He's very credible as a boxer."
A fight between KSI and Paul could finally happen next year with the British star having finally returned to the ring with two fights on the same nigh t when Deji defeated Fousey. The pair have already agreed to a winner-takes-all clash next year with Wembley Stadium touted as a potential venue.
