Floyd Mayweather makes a swift return to the ring this weekend as he boxes YouTube star Deji, just six weeks after stopping mixed martial artist Mikuru Asakura.
Since retiring with a professional record of 50-0 after beating ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor in 2017, Mayweather has competed in several exhibition bouts, the most recent of which saw the 45-year-old defeat Asakura in the second round.
Now Mayweather travels to Dubai for a clash with Deji, who recently secured his first win in the boxing ring. Briton Deji (real name Oladeji Olatunji), younger brother of fellow YouTuber KSI, lost an amateur contest against Jake Paul in 2018 before suffering back-to-back exhibition defeats in June 2021 and this March.
In August, however, the 25-year-old stopped social-media star Fousey to achieve his first victory and set up this fight with American Mayweather.
Here’s all you need to know, with Tommy Fury – half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson – in action on the undercard.

Mayweather vs Deji will take place at the Coca Cola Arena in Dubai on Sunday 13 November.
The main card is set to begin at 7pm GMT (12pm PT, 2pm CT, 3pm ET), with ring walks for the main event expected to follow at 10pm GMT (3pm PT, 5pm CT, 6pm ET).
