As per reports, Deji said, “First and foremost, I am expecting fun because I know it is going to be fun. I am expecting him to show off his skills and everything because obviously, people have been saying stuff about him. The thing is though there is no blueprint to beat Floyd, so I don’t really know what to expect. Ultimately, I want to go in there and steal some technique.”
