Floyd Mayweather Dominates Deji In Exhibition Bout, Gets Black Eye As Remembrance

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is making a living out of boxing exhibition matches, and his latest one was against YouTuber Deji Olatunji last Sunday, November 12.

The outcome was hardly surprising with the retired undefeated American boxer ending the clash in the sixth round.

However, it was in the fifth round when the 25-year-old Englishman landed a flush punch that hit "Money."

That blood left a welt under the left eye of the 45-year-old boxing great.

Regardless, it was all taken in stride by Mayweather as he praised Deji for the effort.

"I'm glad that he landed a good shot," Mayweather said with his arm draped around Deji's shoulder and then pointing to the shiner during the post-fight interview.

Mayweather added that the bruise was "part of fighting."

"This is a part of the entertainment. These people want to see entertainment and fun and that's what we both gave them tonight. You're a hell of a fighter, you're a hell of a competitor, and keep up the great work," the retired American boxer later added.

The fight between Mayweather and Deji never intended to have an official winner being proclaimed, but it was very clear from the retired boxer's performance that he dominated the YouTuber.

Considering Mayweather has been enjoying and making a living performing in exhibition matches, pundits are wondering who could be next for the decorated boxer.

The brother of Deji, KSI, has been mentioned, as well as Jake Paul.

Nothing has been made official, but it appears Mayweather is ready for any challenge thrown his way.

"Your brother, KSI, he's a hell of a fighter also. I want him to keep up the great work. Y'all together, working as a team, working as a force, I'm proud of you guys," Mayweather quipped.

KSI and Paul were in attendance during the event as the latter sat at ringside as a curious spectator for the exhibition fight of Tommy Fury and Rolly Lambert.

Paul mocked Tommy from ringside, criticizing the largely boring bout.

John Fury, who trains Tommy, was bothered by the taunts of the internet sensation and ended up taking off his shirt and daring Paul to enter the ring and fight him.

Tommy's entourage tried to restrain John from going after Paul.

But in all, the scene was branded as something that some saw as a promotional tool for a potential bout between Paul and Tommy in 2023.
