Legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather retired from professional boxing in 2017. Following that, he frequently appeared in exhibition bouts and has engaged in five of them to date. Some fans believe that he is indulging in these bouts because he is in financial trouble. While others feel that his fights with influencer boxers, who are far weaker than him, are lowering the standard of modern boxing. Recently, Mayweather competed in an exhibition match against British YouTuber Deji Olatunji. See what his former opponent has to say about it.

Floyd Mayweather’s former opponent is none other than the American YouTube sensation Logan Paul. The two fought inside the squared circle last year in an exhibition fight that lasted 8 rounds. Paul recently shared his opinion about Mayweather’s fight with Deji on his podcast show, ‘ImPaulsive’.

The 27-year-old Youtuber started by sarcastically saying, “It was the greatest fight I’ve ever seen. Deji vs. Floyd Mayweather will go down in history as one of the most entertaining bouts of combat sports.”

Having said that and laughing about the Mayweather-Deji event with his co-hosts, Paul came to the point and said, “Floyd Mayweather sucks dude, I’m sorry, you fu*king suck Floyd. Like at what point is it no longer legalized bank robbery? That’s what he calls his fights, when he fights, he says it’s legalized bank robbery, and we are seeing why every time because you watch and you are just like why did I say 14.99 (for current subscribers only) for this fight.”

‘Money’ has been undefeated in his entire professional boxing career and boasts a perfect record of 50-0. However, his former rival has some unfinished business with him, and he is probably going to make it happen with a rematch. 

Conor McGregor and Mayweather are reportedly in discussions about a potential rematch. Although the American boxer had previously knocked out the Irish fighter, the outcome this time around might be different. Why? Because, according to reports, the rematch will feature two fights: one in the boxing ring and one in the octagon.
