Mayweather Battles Olatunji In Boxing Exhibition

British-Nigerian boxing sensation Deji Olatunji will fight Floyd Mayweather who makes a swift return to the ring for another exhibition fight at Global Titans Fight Night in Dubai Nov 13.

The British-Nigerian confirmed the pair will meet in an exhibition bout via his social media handle on Monday.

The event will take place at the Coca-Cola Arena, Dubai with a weigh-in set for November 12.

Deji, whose real name is Oladeji Olatunji, started his boxing career with defeats in his first three fights before a statement win over Yousef ‘Fousey’ Erakat in August.

It was the latest of several one-off matches the former boxer has taken since his retirement, having also previously fought internet personality Logan Paul.

Deji – brother of YouTuber-turned-professional fighter KSI – took to social media to confirm the match.

“Huge thanks to Global Titans and my team for creating this incredible opportunity,” Deji stated on Monday.

“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!”

Reacting to the announcement, Mayweather said, “I am delighted to bring this incredible boxing experience to Dubai. Global Titans will give fans an unrivalled boxing match with a huge undercard.

“It is an honour to be a part of such an iconic event in an iconic city, and I would like to thank the Global Titans team for reaching out to me and giving back so much to the sport I love”, he said.
