Henry Cejudo tells Deen the Great 'nobody believes you' after Misfits win
Cejudo beat Javon Walton on a split decision in Miami, then said Deen, who pulled out of their fight, is not injured and should step up or stick to streaming.
Henry Cejudo says Deen the Great owes him a fight, and does not believe Deen is injured.
Cejudo was due to face Deen at Misfits Boxing 11 in Miami, but ended up fighting Javon "Wanna" Walton, and beat him on a split decision in the main event: Misfits Miami results. Speaking in an interview after the show, he returned to the man who was meant to be in the other corner.
"But first and foremost, dude, I think Deen the Duck owes me a f*cking fight. And he was meant to come tonight," Cejudo said. He had a new name for him too: "Man, you guys got to stop calling him Deen the Great, dude. Deen the B*tch. Why don't we call him that?"
"If you're not willing to fight, then dude, just stream," Cejudo said, and he dismissed the idea that Deen was hurt: "Yeah, Deen, do step up, bro... You're not hurt. You're not injured. Nobody believes you, including myself and everybody that you know here at Misfits."
