British YouTuber, KSI, has been the driving force behind his brother’s boxing career, both by forcing him to be a better fighter and also by landing him in a fight with one of the greatest Boxers, Floyd Mayweather. This is therefore one of the most unusual matchup fans will see this year.

With the growth of YouTube boxing as a sport, it seems as if some extraordinary and brilliant records are about to get broken. And the first to predict these record-breaking matches is none other than KSI.

KSI thinks Deji can win against Floyd

In one of his reaction videos from September, KSI predicted that the fight between Floyd Mayweather, and Deji, will be sort of one-sided. This was mostly because of the fact that Deji already had won while being in a fight with one of the greats, Floyd Mayweather. But apart from this, he thought that his younger brother, Deji, will emerge victorious against Floyd Mayweather, just by hitting him once, as that will be just crazy.

KSI said, “Unfortunately for Floyd Mayweather, he is getting knocked out... Deji’s already won by fighting Mayweather, so anything else is a bonus. Him surviving, Bro he’s the greatest of all time… He doesn’t have Logan Paul’s [referring to Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather fight in June 2021] advantages, doesn’t have the weight advantage, or the reach advantage, or even the technique.”

KSI while comparing Deji with Logan Paul, said, “Although arguably you could say Deji’s technique is pretty good so Logan Paul has a lot of advantages that Deji does not have. So for Deji get in the room with Floyd Mayweather.”

He concluded by saying, “And then survive bro crazy. Honestly and then if he hits Floyd just bro I just stopped right I don’t even care anymore. Forfeit and I’m done. I hit you. I win being in the ring with you.”

Why is Deji vs Floyd Mayweather match going to be iconic?

The post to which KSI was reacting was pointing out the fact that the match will be a turning point for one of the two. As this is the second professional match that Deji will be fighting, after Yousef Saleh Erakat, it remains to be seen, whether he will be able to maintain his 1-0 professional boxing record or not.

While on one side we have Deji, the other side has the legendary boxer, Floyd Mayweather, with 50-0 wins, which means if he gets beaten, this will be his first professional loss in over two decades.
