The epic showdown between Floyd Mayweather and Deji Olatunji ended in favor of the American boxing legend. Mayweather took the victory after the sixth round against the YouTuber-turned-boxer. Still, the American legend was impressed by Deji’s performance.

Floyd Mayweather is one of the best in the sport’s history. The 45-year-old might have retired from professional boxing, but no one can challenge the legacy he left behind. Mayweather has an undefeated record in the boxing scene. So, the American legend calling Deji a tough competitor is a huge deal. But aside from Deji, Mayweather also praised his brother JJ “KSI” Olatunji for his fighting skills.

Despite Mayweather’s dominance in the ring, Deji managed to get some punches on the legendary opponent. One of those punches even left a bruise under Mayweather’s left eye. For that, even the American boxing legend praised Deji. Overall, the YouTuber-turned-boxer’s performance left a good impression on the 45-year-old. Mayweather claimed, “Deji — you’re a tough competitor. I’m proud of you. Keep up the great work.”

Even though KSI was just an audience at this epic showdown, the boxing legend knew the older Olatunji brother’s exploits inside the ring. He even praised KSI and asked the Olatunji brothers to continue working as they currently are. “Your brother, KSI, he’s a hell of a fighter also.” Mayweather continued, “I want him to keep up the great work. You all together, working as a team, working as a force, I’m proud of you guys.”

Mayweather reversed the prediction made by KSI

JJ Olatunji, better known as KSI, is among the top YouTube creators. In a recent video released ahead of his brother’s fight against Floyd Mayweather, the 29-year-old came across a picture of Deji, showing his excellent form. Left impressed by his brother’s form, KSI predicted Deji to win.
