Ring legend Floyd Mayweather is back in action tonight as he faces YouTube star Deji in his latest exhibition venture.
'Money' has been on an exhibition tour since retiring from professional competition five years ago after stopping UFC star Conor McGregor and improving his flawless record to 50-0. 'Money' competes in his third exhibition fight of the calendar year against Deji after schooling former sparring partner Don Moore in May and knocking out Mikuru Asukara in September.
Deji, the brother of KSI, was made to be laughing stock of the YouTube boxing scene after losing his first three fights but impressed fans by knocking out Yousef 'Fousey' Erakat on the undercard of his brother's 'two fights in one night' event in August. So here's all you need to know about tonight's big exhibition...

Mayweather : "I want to thank all the sponsors, all the people who helped put together this event. A lot of times we talk about the fight, but how we really got here is all the people who helped us get to this certain point. So many people behind the scenes don't get the credit they should do. I'm really proud of everybody that's been working on this event with me and Deji."
Deji : "I'm looking to land a punch, that would be amazing against the best defensive fighter in the world. I'm looking to have fun, showcase my skill and show what YouTubers can do. Me being there in the ring with Floyd is only going to enhance my boxing skills and push me up the ladder in the sport, it's going to help me dominate the YouTube boxing scene after this."
