Floyd Mayweather taken six rounds by Deji before finally stopping YouTube star

Floyd Maweather ultimately stopped Deji in the sixth round of their exhibition clash after a better-than-expected performance from his YouTube rival.

The ring legend, who won world titles in five weight divisions as a professional, clowned around for five rounds before deciding to close the show and avoid being taken the distance. Deji did at least have some success of his own and later boasted of leaving Mayweather with a black eye.

Mayweather barely stood in stance in the opening stages as he clowned Deji and threw half-hearted punches. Deji, understandably, was rather more focused as he attempted to pop out his southpaw jab to the body. Mayweather then spent at least 30 seconds slipping Deji's punches without bothering to throw back.
