Influencer boxer Deen the Great is speaking out after a viral altercation with retired MMA fighter Tiki Ghosn left him on the ground and sparked heated debate online.
Appearing on Andy Bachman’s Creators Think Podcast, Deen reflected on the moment, which quickly made the rounds on social media. “All men take Ls, you know, I just took it publicly,” he said. “It is what it is.”
The confrontation reportedly began after Deen approached Ghosn and asked if he recognized him. Tensions escalated when a past viral clip involving powerlifter Larry Wheels was brought up. Shortly after, Deen was struck and fell to the ground.
Bachman weighed in during the episode, calling the elbow that dropped Deen “a cheap shot.” He told him, “I think you put yourself in that position,” while adding that he did not believe Deen posed a threat in that moment.
Despite encouragement from some viewers to pursue legal action, Deen made it clear he has no plans to go that route. “People say take the legal route, but I don’t,” he said. “I kind of put myself in it. I’m a fighter. It happens.”
He added that lawsuits should be reserved for serious harm.
