Floyd Mayweather recently put on a showing at 45 years old after beating YouTube sensation Deji in their exhibition bout. Mayweather was in control throughout the bout, landing clean strikes and outclassing Deji at every moment. He put an end to the fight in the sixth round, winning via TKO.

However, it looks like Deji has gained a lot of confidence after facing ‘TBE’, even more than some fans would like. In an interview with
What’s Good Podcast he revealed that he was not confident enough to stand in front of anybody now that he has been in the ring with Mayweather. “So I don’t know how to describe the confidence that I have now like no one can be in front of me and I’ll be scared i fought Floyd you know what i mean,” said Deji

This seemingly surprised the co-host, who then claimed although Mayweather was a better boxer, Fury was much larger than Deji. “You gotta remember that even though he doesn’t have the record Floyd has he’s a giant like he’s so much bigger than you. It’s like JJ saying you could knock out a horse.” said the co-host.

Deji calls out Tyson Fury and Mike Tyson

Deji then went on to call out Tyson Fury and Mike Tyson for a match, stating he would face both of them in a single night.” No I’ll fight everyone at the same time. I’ll do fights in one night. Mike Tyson and Tyson Fury.” he added. It looks like Deji is looking to follow in the footsteps of his brother, facing two opponents in one night. However, the level of Fury and Tyson is far above that of those who faced his brother.

A match between the heavyweight champion and a YouTuber would certainly not be a pretty spectacle given his performance against a much smaller opponent like Mayweather.
