This past weekend, Mayweather defeated RIZIN’s Mikuru Asakura by second-round TKO in an exhibition match in Saitama, Japan. He has also participated in exhibition matches against YouTuber Logan Paul and kickboxing superstar Tenshin Nasukawa.
Deji, 25, has competed in four exhibition boxing matches, including a bout against Jake Paul in 2018. He scored his first win this past August at an event headlined by his older brother KSI, defeating Fousey by TKO (retirement) in Round 3. Currently, Deji has over 17 million subscribers across his various social media platforms.
It will be Money Mayweather’s fourth exhibition since retiring professionally in 2017 after beating ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor, 34.
While Deji, 25, most recently beat American Fousey, 32, which followed on a run of THREE losses for the YouTube boxer.
Deji said: “Huge thanks to Global Titans and my team for creating this incredible opportunity.
“It’s a privilege to be headlining this phenomenal spectacle in Dubai, against the all-time great Floyd Mayweather. This is going to be fun!”

Who is fighting on the undercard?
Tommy Fury will return to the ring to fight an ex-Marine Corps, according to reports.
Fury will go toe-to-toe with Paul Bamba on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather’s exhibition bout with YouTube star Deji in Dubai.
Boxing Scene claim that Fury, 23, is likely to face the 5-2 New Yorker on November 13.
Fury, the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson, is 8-0 as a professional boxer.
And he will try to maintain that unbeaten record against the relatively-unknown US Marine Corps veteran Bamba.
The 33-Year-old is the founder and president of Trifecta Strong, a boxing and fitness training company.
