Mayweather vs Deji LIVE! Boxing results, fight stream, TV channel, updates and reaction as Fury and Paul clash

Mayweather vs Deji - LIVE!

Floyd Mayweather stopped Deji in the sixth round of their exhibition bout in Dubai, at the end of a chaotic and somewhat farcical night. Having only fought YouTubers before, and winning his first fight in August after three amateur defeats, Deji took to the ring against one of the sport’s greats, as Mayweather continued his run of exhibitions.

The 45-year-old toyed with Deji for much of the first five rounds, spending most of the time arguing with his opponents’ corner. That was particularly the case after Mayweather was warned for a number of low blows, perhaps an irritated response after Deji landed a shot that marked up the American’s eye.

Mayweather, who spent the time in between the early rounds parading around the ring and doing pad work, had his corner work on his eye ahead of the sixth round, while he looked around and saw Deji doing press-ups. That was perhaps the spark he needed to put an end to what was the ultimate mismatch, even if the YouTuber had a couple of bright moments. Mayweather could have ended it at any second and that moment came in the sixth, as the referee jumped in following a couple of heavy shots.
