Floyd Mayweather will take on YouTube boxer Deji in a stunning crossover fight, but he won’t risk his undefeated record!
Since retiring from professional competition in 2017 with a perfect 50-0, Money has occasionally returned to the ring for exhibition bouts.
The first of these arrived in Japan on New Year’s Eve 2018, when he knocked out kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa.
Last year, Mayweather backed off the ropes again and went eight rounds with social media star Logan Paul – who only had one professional fight, a loss to fellow YouTuber KSI.
Mayweather will now face another viral sensation in the latter’s younger brother, Deji.
Mayweather vs. Deji: Start date and time
This exhibition fight will take place on sunday november 13.
The event will take place from the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, with ringside walks for the main event scheduled for around 10pm UK time,
A live stream has yet to be confirmed, but talkSPORT.com will have all the prep for fight week.
Deji originally went 0-3 in white collar fighting after losing fights to Jake Paul, Vinnie Hacker and Alex Wassabi.
But he recorded his first boxing victory in August by stopping Fousey in a much improved performance.
