Floyd Mayweather will take on YouTube star Deji in an exhibition fight in Dubai this weekend.
The boxing legend is continuing his journey on the exhibition circuit and will next face YouTube star Deji - real name Oladeji Olatunji - at the Coca Cola Arena in Dubai this Sunday night. Mayweather has fought in four exhibitions prior to this including against Deji's fellow YouTuber Logan Paul and most recently Japanese MMA star Mikuru Asakura.
Meanwhile Olatunji picked up his first win as a professional in August when he defeated fellow content creator Fousey having lost three fights to Jake Paul, Vinnie Hacker and Alex Wassabi. This is a huge opportunity for Olatunji to show off his skills and see if he is able to last the full eight-round distance with one of the greatest fighters in the history of the sport.

Meanwhile Olatunji had been on a losing streak prior to his recent win over Fousey, but he will be hoping to make another big statement before returning to the YouTube boxing world with plans to rematch the likes of former conquerors Wassabi and Paul.
