Floyd Mayweather is officially set to take on Youtuber ‘Deji,’ on November 13 in Dubai in an event ran by ‘Global Titans’.
Five-weight professional boxing world champion, Floyd Mayweather Jr. will compete in another exhibition later on this year when he takes on UK YouTuber, ‘Deji’, formerly known online as ComedyShortsGamer.
Mayweather has now showcased his skills in several exhibition bouts since his official retirement from professional boxing following his 2017 boxing match against Conor McGregor. ‘Money’ has taken on the likes Logan Paul, Tenshin Nasukawa and Don Moore, all for a considerable fee.
The Olympic silver medallist fought this past weekend, taking on Japan’s Mikuru Asakura, knocking out the MMA fighter/YouTuber in the second round.
As for Mayweather’s opponent, Deji, he is the younger brother of KSI, rising to internet fame in the early 2010s by making gaming videos.
Deji has also been a big part of the influencer boxing movement, having competed four times, taking on Jake Paul in his first bout in a losing effort. The 25-year-old recently earned himself his first win inside the ring, battering fellow YouTuber Yusef Erakat or ‘Fousey’.
“Huge thanks to Global Titans and my team for creating this incredible opportunity,” Deji said in a press release. “It’s a privilege to be headlining this phenomenal spectacle in Dubai, against the all-time great Floyd Mayweather. This is going to be fun!”
Mayweather would add that he was excited to be a part of such a big event, bringing boxing back to the Dubai.
“I am delighted to bring this incredible boxing experience to Dubai,” Mayweather said. “Global Titans will give fans an unrivaled boxing match with a huge undercard. It is an honour to be a part of such an iconic event in an iconic city, and I would like to thank the Global Titans team for reaching out to me and giving back so much to the sport I love.” (H/T Mirror)

Undefeated professional boxer, Jake Paul has reignited his rivalry with former boxing world champion, the unbeaten, Floyd Mayweather following the Michigan veteran’s latest exhibition boxing match over the course of last weekend, claiming he will also fight the former kingpin in the future.
Paul, who currently boasts an undefeated 5-0 professional record, is slated to return to the squared circle for his sixth professional fight next month – tackling former undisputed UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva in Phoenix, Arizona.
Jake Paul fires barbs at the legacy of former champion, Floyd Mayweather
Criticizing Mayweather’s recent participation in exhibition matches, Paul, whose elder brother, Logan Paul actually shared the ring with Mayweather last year, claimed he would follow suit and box the former world champion in the future.
“Alright, ladies and gentlemen, picture this,” Jake Paul said during a video recorded on his social media. “It’s 2022, Floyd Mayweather is ruining his legacy fighting no-name guys, wasting his fans money, wasting his fan’s time. He doesn’t even know the names of the guys he’s fighting to make some money to pay his tax bills.”
“Floyd Mayweather telling Jake Paul that you will only fight Jake Paul if he comes down to his weight,” Paul said. “140lbs or something. I can’t believe what’s going on in the world. I can’t believe this is real.”
“Floyd, I will fight you,” Paul continued. “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 hundred million. But what will your excuse be? You didn’t care what my brother weighed, so why do you care what I weigh? Oh, because you know. You know what’s going to happen.”
Previously engaging in a physical altercation with Mayweather at Logan Paul’s press conference last year, Jake Paul infamously snatched the former champion’s hat, before he was punched by members of Mayweather’s entourage.
“I want to say, I’ve got your 0,” Paul explained. “I don’t want to just say, ‘I’ve got your hat.’ I got your 0.”
“But you’re going to find a way to dance around this,” Paul said. “You’ve said, ‘Oh, once he finds a professional fighter, he’s going to get destroyed. It’ll be back for him.’ Why not let that be you? The best ever. There’s only one Mayweather. But he’s scared to fight Jake Paul. It’s 2022, I can’t believe what the f*ck’s going on, guys. Goddammit.” (Transcribed by MMA Mania)
