Deji’s Victory Over Dawood Savage in Misfits Fight Sparks Controversy Among Fans Who Alleged Match was ‘RIGGED’
Fans have lambasted Deji’s “disgraceful” TKO win against Dawood Savage, dubbing it “rigged”.
YouTuber Deji triumphed over Savage in the third round of their undercard bout at Misfits’ event in Qatar on Thursday night.
Deji seemed focused on business as the four two-minute rounds commenced.
However, the match shifted dramatically when Savage delivered the first notable punch.
What should have been a simple bout devolved into confusion.
Deji, returning after an 18-month hiatus, did not impress against an opponent with no victories.
The 27-year-old, brother of KSI, managed to knock his rival down in the third round, but it was not recognized as a knockdown.
Savage dropped dramatically under pressure, claiming to have sustained an injury before the fight was halted.
Fans watching on Misfits have criticized the match as “rigged.”
One user commented: “This was set up to give Deji another win. Utterly embarrassing fight.”

While another exclaimed: “One of the oddest knockouts in Misfits history.”
