Deji tells Floyd Mayweather "one punch" plan during face-off ahead of clash

Deji Floyd Maywear Fousey

YouTube star Deji joked that he is hoping to land at least "one punch" during his face-off with Floyd Mayweather ahead of their exhibition clash.

The British star - real name Oljadeji Olatunji - will touch gloves with one of the boxing's biggest stars in the shape of legend Mayweather at the Coca Cola Arena next Saturday night. The YouTube star received the opportunity after impressing in his maiden win over YouTube rival Fousey in August, and it will see him become the latest opponent of the former champion in his lucrative exhibition series.

Despite no official result set to be declared with no judges in place to score the exhibition contest, Mayweather is anticipated by many to dominate proceedings given his wealth of experience in the ring. And the YouTube star has already set a simple goal in the fight, insisting he is in the fight to have fun and showcase his skills.
