It has been revealed that the legendary 50-0 Floyd Mayweather is in shock talks to fight KSI's brother Deji in an exhibition bout, with The Mirror revealing that the fight is set to take place in Dubai in November.
The former five-weight world champion has been embarking on a series of exhibition fights ever since his 2017 fight against Conor McGregor. This has seen him fight stars such as Logan Paul in 2021 and Japanese kickboxer, whom he knocked out in 2018. However, the fight against Deji will come as a surprise to many, with the influencer only having won his first ever fight in August.
The UK based YouTube star, whose full name is Deji Olatunji, is the younger brother of KSI and fought on the undercard of his brother's recent boxing event. Deji's first bout was in 2018, fighting against Jake Paul on the undercard of their respective older brothers' main event.
