YouTube content creator and boxing influencer Deji is set to square off against one of the all-time boxing greats, Floyd Mayweather, in an exhibition match.
After a string of unofficial losses, Deji picked up his first win at his brother’s latest boxing event, KSI vs. Swarmz. Only months later, the younger Olatunji brother is already facing the 50-0 Mayweather.
For Mayweather, this will be the professional boxer’s second exhibition match against an up-and-coming influencer boxer. Previously, Mayweather fought against Logan Paul in June 2021. Given that Deji and Mayweather’s bout will be an exhibition, there will be no official victor. But the fight has still garnered the attention of boxing fans across the globe.
Featuring a full undercard of fellow fighters, Deji vs. Mayweather is set to be a packed event hosted by Misfits Boxing.
