Floyd Mayweather is making a comeback to the ring at age 45. These fights may be warm-ups for another match against UFC star Conor McGregor, in my opinion. Mayweather has a flawless 50-0 pro record, and he won’t ever allow his spotless record to be marred.
Over the weekend, Mayweather knocked out Mikuru Asakura in the second round. Floyd entered that contest as a strong favorite and paid -700, and he didn’t let anyone down.
This past weekend, Manny Pacquiao attended a match in Japan, which prompted fans to wonder if a Mayweather Pacquiao exhibition was in the works.
The most recent Floyd Mayweather vs. Deji odds indicates that Sportsbooks once again strongly favor Floyd to prevail in the upcoming stop of his exhibition tour.
Odds Analysis
As previously established, Floyd has a perfect 50-0 record with 27 knockout victories. 2017 saw the last of his professional fights. Sportsbooks don’t think he will lose now because they offer him a 90% or higher chance of beating Deji. Deji’s chances of causing a major upset are quite remote.
Deji has competed in four exhibition bouts of boxing. Most notably, he faced Jake Paul in the ring in 2018. A 25-year-old YouTube star named Deji has more than 17 million subscribers. He is KSI’s brother. He won one of his four fights recently in August against YouTube personality Fousey.
The odds for ‘Money’ Mayweather vs. Deji’s fight have not yet been made public. But according to betting odds for the contest, the 45-year-old is the -1000 favorite while Deji is the +700 underdog. This is the YouTuber’s toughest match to date in his entire career.

Who is Deji?
DEJI OLATUNJI, a.k.a. Comedy Shorts Gamer on YouTube, is accustomed to sharing the limelight with his older brother KSI.
He emerged from the shadows in his first boxing victory over Fousey on August 27, 2022, and participated in the football game between the Sidemen vs. YouTube All-Stars, which was the first major triumph of his career.
Before winning the first boxing battle of his career, Deji Olatunji, 25, was better known on YouTube under the username Comedy Shorts Gamer.
He first started uploading gameplay videos to YouTube in December 2011 but has since moved on to challenges and various prank vlogs.
He now has more than 10.6 million subscribers to his channel. Additionally, Deji co-starred as Freddie in the 2016 comedy Laid in America alongside his brother KSI, whose full name is Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji.
Late in 2014, Deji launched his clothing line, Tank; the website is presently undergoing repair.
The main internet page of the clothing company, which is situated in San Francisco, California, states that its “goal [is] to promote love and kindness to as many people, around the world, as possible.”
Why Deji Olatunji Is So Unique?
Deji Olatunji has put a lot of effort into growing his online presence. He devotes a great deal of time to amusing his fans regularly.
He creates amusing videos on related topics and has an extremely similar taste to his brother JJ. But to forge his personality, he has added a variety of videos to his channel, including funny Q&A series, parental pranks, and vlogs.
He has continued to be himself in his films, whether it be through more ranting, quirkiness, or inappropriate mom jokes. He even participated in “deadly” tasks like the “Do Not Do Challenge” or the hot sauce challenge, which left him in pain and discomfort.
People’s predictions over the upcoming battle:
Booma said,
I’m just happy to see two undefeated prospects fight instead of ducking each other, should be a barn burner.
Cactus said,
I wonder how Floyd will deal with dejis shoulder roll.
Afrah said,
why would Floyd do this to himself, he has a family that loves and needs him
Alpha said,
Good warm-up fight for Floyd, he ain’t ready for 7 Figure Gibber just yet.
Trash said,
Respect for Floyd for taking on the goat hopefully Deji dosent hit him to hard.
Eren said,
All jokes aside, this is a risky fight and a huge step up for Mayweather. He deserves respect for taking this fight with Deji
Delly said,
Yes 100% atleast other upsets have been done by legit professional boxers. Deji is a YouTube boxer and not even the best one. It’d be insane if he beat Floyd even at 40
Jerry said,
Yes, and its pretty much impossible. I’ve boxed for a long time and I’m tall too (6’3, 210lbs). My boxing coach is a retired pro journeyman in his 60s and I can’t do anything to him. The thought of being able fight Floyd Mayweather and actually win is ridiculous.
Baht said,
Hopefully Floyd can learn the philly shell by then to crack the code
Godx said,
Jokes aside its pretty obvious why this is happening, since Dejis last fight has like 5-6M views last I saw, even more than both his brothers. Floyd was probably looking to fight another YouTuber and Deji seemed like the most popular one to his team. He definitely has absolutely 0 clue who Deji is though lol. Will make it even better when Deji THE TANK sparks him out cold
Handsoff said,
What happens when Floyd lands his best shot and Deji is still standing in front of him? What does Floyd do when that panic sets in?
Agmer said,
Hope Deji got paid in advanced.
Joe said,
You just know if he wins this, he will immediately be Jake Paul’s next fight and the real undisputed fight is gonna happen
Bruh said,
Based on Floyd’s last performance, I unironically hope Deji catches him with one good shot so he can become the undisputed Goat of YouTube boxing.

FLOYD MAYWEATHER FINALLY RESPONDS TO JAKE PAUL & WARNS HIM “IT WILL BE OVER FOR HIM”
Floyd Mayweather posted an apology on Instagram http://instagram.com/floydmayweather# after an image ridiculing Oscar De la Hoya and the fact that De la Hoya is receiving treatment for substance abuse appeared on his profile earlier on Monday.
In his apology, Mayweather said:
It’s unfortunate that a stupid picture was posted to my Instagram account earlier today that was not posted by me or authorized by me to post.
As I clearly stated during my fight week and again in the post-fight press conference, I completely support Oscar De La Hoya and his family during this difficult time in his life, Although we have had our differences in the past, I stand by him unconditionally and would never personally disrespect him or anyone else who struggles with addiction.
I apologize to Oscar and his family for this posting. I wish him well and am rooting for him to win his fight, too.
I also apologize to all of my followers for this ridiculous post. I have no ill will towards anyone and have repeatedly stated that I only seek positivity in my life and for others.
