On November 13, Floyd Mayweather will return to the squared circle for an exhibition bout with YouTuber Deji Olatunji.
Emanating from Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, the event features a stacked night of fights that includes Tommy Fury competing in the co-main event and the boxing debut of former WWE Superstar and current AEW wrestler, Bobby Fish.
The card will also feature Anthony Taylor, an accomplished mixed martial artist who has competed under the Bellator banner. Taylor is most notable for being Jake Paul’s sparring partner. During a media event ahead of the boxing showcase scheduled for next weekend, Taylor decided to go into business for himself, jumping on the microphone and lobbying for a fight with Mayweather in a rant that left everybody in attendance feeling a bit awkward.
“Lets be honest, what I think we really want to see is ‘Pretty Boy’ Anthony Taylor vs. ‘Money’ Floyd Mayweather. Now that’s a fight! Personality, personality. I’m the most qualified fighter to be fighting Floyd Mayweather in exhibition. I fought on Showtime. Some of the biggest fights ya’ll ever seen on pay-per-view. I deserve to fight Floyd.
“He already said he’s never seen Deji. I’m the f*cking ‘Pretty Boy’ baby! Former ‘Pretty Boy’ now ‘Money’ Mayweather. Anthony ‘Pretty Boy’ Taylor vs. Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather. Dubai! England! Vegas! Come on baby! I’m here by myself! I’m here by myself. No daddy like Tommy [Fury]. No bodyguards. By myself. I can take care of myself. Anthony ‘Pretty Boy’ Taylor. Ya’ll remember that name. Remember that name. That’s what I’m talking about.”
Floyd Mayweather did his best to try and respond to Anthony Taylor’s comments but was hilariously stopped short of completing his thought.
“We all gotta be respectful. We all come from… We all got a background where we come from. He may be a good fighter. I don’t know.”
At that point, a member of the live crowd could be heard yelling, “He stinks,” getting a noticeable laugh from many of the media members in attendance and Mayweather himself.
Anthony Taylor currently holds a record of 7-5 in mixed martial arts per Tapology, but he is yet to find much success inside the squared circle. In five career professional boxing bouts, Taylor holds a record of 2-3, most notably losing to Tommy Fury via unanimous decision on the undercard for Jake Paul’s first fight with Tyron Woodley. Taylor competed on the Paul vs. Woodley 2 undercard as well, losing to Chris Avila via majority decision.

It seems that a rematch between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather could still be on the cards.
Even now at the age of 45, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is still touring the world, making opponents look silly and picking up multi-million dollar cheques for his troubles.
Since he retired from professional boxing, Mayweather has competed in exhibition bouts against influencers, smaller kickboxers/MMA fighters, or a mix of both.
These bouts have allowed Mayweather to still earn a very good living with relatively no risk and the five-weight world champion is showing no signs of stopping. Mayweather has recently been pushing for a McGregor rematch to take place after his November 13 fight against YouTuber, Deji.
“I want to go out there this weekend and have fun,” Mayweather said. “Then I have another exhibition in Dubai in November and me and Conor McGregor in 2023.
“We don’t know if it’s going to be an exhibition of a real fight. But there’s been talks of both. I would prefer an exhibition. I am not into fights where I am going to take any real punishment. So, guys like Conor McGregor and guys that don’t really hit hard such as YouTubers or UFC guys, I don’t really mind colliding with those kinds of individuals but nothing where I am going to put myself in a position where I am going to harm myself or hurt myself.” (H/T TheMirror)
Taking to Twitter, McGregor would respond to professional boxer Claressa Shields, where the Irishman claimed he would “end Floyd.”
“You’ve way more venom than Floyd,” McGregor said. “I beat Floyd if we rematch. Untold truth it was me who carried him the early rounds playing pitty patty. Every single shot I threw early landed. From body to head I was playing ping pong. I come out full force, and today, I end Floyd.”
Who would win the rematch Conor McGregor or Floyd Mayweather?

Jake Paul is set to take on MMA legend Anderson Silva later this month on October 29, at the Dessert Diamond Arena in Glendale Arizona. For many, this challenge alone would be enough to focus on at once but Paul still continues to attempt to set up future fights.
The 25-year-old has been recently campaigning to be selected as Mayweather’s next opponent and Paul seems confident of his chances.
“I think he [Floyd Mayweather] would [fight me] if it was an exhibition for sure,” Paul told MMA Fighting. “The thing is I want it to be a real pro bout and take his undefeated record, which I don’t think he’ll risk.
“But I just think that makes the fight three times as big, three times as hyped. That’s what I’m aiming for.”
Mayweather recently fought on a Rizin FF show in Japan, where he took on Mikuru Asakura, knocking him out in the second round. Following that, the 45-year-old would quickly announce he would be taking on the Youtuber, ‘Deji’ in Dubai on November 13. in another exhibition bout.
Paul was critical of Mayweather’s opponent, taking to Twitter to react to his fight against Asakura, telling Mayweather that he wanted his 0.
“It’s 2022, Floyd Mayweather is ruining his legacy fighting no-name guys, wasting his fan’s money, wasting his fan’s time,” Paul said on Twitter. “He doesn’t even know the names of the guys he’s fighting … to make some money to pay his tax bills.
“Floyd, I will fight you. And you know that’s one of the biggest fights to make in boxing. I weigh 175, you weigh 165 — we can get that done, make a couple $100 million.” (H/T MMAFighting)
“I definitely think there’s a fight for us in the future,” Paul said. “Whether it’s (an) exhibition or not, we’ll figure that part out.”
Who would win, Jake Paul or Floyd Mayweather?
Rizin FF leader and former PRIDE FC front man, Nobuyuki Sakakibara has suggested a future clash between former UFC welterweight contender, Nate Diaz, and former world champion professional boxer, Floyd Mayweather in the future – claiming Diaz could even likely defeat the Grand Rapids veteran.

Rizin FF leader and former PRIDE FC front man, Nobuyuki Sakakibara has suggested a future clash between former UFC welterweight contender, Nate Diaz, and former world champion professional boxer, Floyd Mayweather in the future – claiming Diaz could even likely defeat the Grand Rapids veteran.
Diaz, a one-time lightweight title challenger under the UFC banner, most recently headlined UFC 279 last month in a short-notice welterweight fight against former interim lightweight titleholder, Tony Ferguson.
Securing a fourth round guillotine choke win, Diaz was initially scheduled to fight the undefeated, Khamzat Chimaev at the end, however, the latter missed weight by seven and a half pounds for the fight.
As for Mayweather, the Michigan native called time on his professional boxing career back in 2017 following a tenth round TKO win over common-foe, former two-weight UFC champion, Conor McGregor in the Dubliner’s professional boxing debut.
In the time since, however, Mayweather has taken part in numerous exhibition boxing matches, including two under the banner of Rizin FF – most recently defeating Mikuru Asakura with a second round knockout back in September.
With Nate Diaz’s exclusivity period with the UFC in regards to contract negotiations set to come to an end in the coming weeks, the Stockton native has been linked with a slew of potential moves – including a transition to professional wrestling with the WWE.
An interested party appears to have risen in the form of Japanese promotion Rizin FF – with the previously mentioned, Sakakibara floating a fight between Diaz and Mayweather.
“We do think we’re at a point where we can’t just only focus on the Japanese market anymore,” Sakakibara said during an interview with MMA Mania. “We have to target the international audience. So, with that said, Floyd’s (Mayweather) doesn’t have to be a Japanese fighter anymore. It’s just one possibility thinking about the future. Not only Floyd’s opponent, but Nate Diaz as an individual has a great amount of character, fight style, and a great following internationally. So, as an individual, he would definitely be somebody we’d be interested to be talking to.”
“Nate’s kind of like the global (version of the) Asakura brothers,” Sakakibara explained. “The Diaz brothers are the global Asakura brothers. And who would not want to see them fight and take on Floyd Mayweather? Floyd’s been perfecting boxing his entire career and now he’s willing to do these exhibitions to fight different professionals like MMA fighters, YouTubers, and right now it’s the time where that is what sells and that is what people are entertained by. These big competitions – exhibitions – amongst different professions is something that really gathers attention and gets people talking.”
According to Sakakibara to boot, Diaz, who has always been linked with a move to boxing at the tailend of his professional mixed martial arts career, could potentially defeat Mayweather if they fought each other.
“Nate Diaz might even have a chance of beating Floyd, you know?” Sakakibara explained. “And for us to promote that ‘what if’ factor is definitely something that we need to promote for these exhibitions against Floyd. Making the people think maybe… that ‘if’ factor, Nate Diaz can bring all of that, so, we do think it’s a great idea.” (Transcribed by BJPENN.com)
