Deji has been backed by fellow British YouTube star King Kenny to knockout boxing legend Floyd Mayweather in their upcoming exhibition fight.

Former five-weight world champion Mayweather's latest exhibition against Deji for November 12 at the Coca Cola Arena in Dubai was confirmed earlier this week following initial reports from Mirror Fighting. The announcement comes after 'Money' brutally knocked out Japanese MMA fighter Mikuru Asakura this past weekend, having outclassed former sparring Don Moore in their exhibition fight in May.

Deji, the brother of KSI, picked up his first boxing win last month by stopping fellow YouTuber Yusef 'Fousey' Erakat after losing three consecutive white-collar fights.
