When is Floyd Mayweather vs Deji? Fight date, time, undercard and venue

Floyd Mayweather is once again scheduled to take to the ring with the undefeated 45-year-old set to face off against social media star Deji later this year.

It was announced on September 22 that the retired Mayweather would again lace up his gloves to face the Brit in the United Arab Emirates. With other boxers already confirmed on the undercard, it is expected that Mayweather Productions will oversee the event.

Having most recently fought Jake Paul, Don Moore and Mikuru Asakura, the 15-time world champion is keeping himself active with post-retirement exhibition bouts. His next opponent Deji currently stands with a record of 1-3.

Mayweather: ''I am delighted to bring this incredible boxing experience to Dubai. Global Titans will give fans an unrivaled boxing match with a huge undercard.
