Speaking To Ril & Bill’s podcast, he said, “First and foremost, I am expecting fun because I know it is going to be fun,”
Furthermore, he added, “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.”
This fight is certainly not booked on the merit of Deji’s boxing resume. When it comes to boxing, only a handful come close to Mayweather’s legacy and Deji will not be the favorite to win the fight.
Though he is coming out of a win, it is the first in his boxing career.
Floyd Mayweather took $1 million before even talking about this fight
It is interesting how Mayweather lives up to his ‘Money’ moniker. While talking about his upcoming big-money exhibition to FightHype, ‘The Pretty Boy’ revealed that he charged $1 million just for taking a call to talk about Deji’s fight.
This is going to be the third exhibition of Mayweather this year. Before this, he fought Don Moore in Abu Dhabi earlier this year. Later, the former champ met the MMA artist Mikaru Asakura in Japan in a three-round contest. He knocked out young Asakura easily in the second round.
