Deji's coach details how Floyd Mayweather has "slowed down" ahead of exhibition fight

Deji's coach Daley Perales has seen Floyd Mayweather slow down in his recent exhibition bouts, and is plotting a game plan for the YouTuber to beat the boxing legend.

Mayweather faces British social media star Deji at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai on November 13 in his third exhibition match of the year, and fifth since retiring from professional fighting back in 2017. The bout won't go on either of their records and no judges will be scoring at ringside, but the Brit can earn a moral victory by going the distance and putting in a solid showing.

However, some fans were concerned when Mayweather appeared to shift through the gears during last Saturday's bout with MMA star Mikuru Asakura, stopping the Japanese fighter within two rounds. After taking a couple of big shots early on, Mayweather turned up the heat and put an end to the bout inside the second.
