Mayweather weighed in at 11 stone or 154 pounds, while Deji came in almost 20 pounds heavier than money at 12 stone and 5 pounds or 172 pounds. However, Mayweather looked in great physical shape as he showed off his ripped physique. Despite his opponent being 20 pounds heavier, ‘TBE’ looks like the more conditioned and faster fighter.

This was not all the drama from the weigh-ins as Tommy Fury who will face Paul Bamba in the co-main event, weighed in 7 pounds heavier than the weight limit. Bamba even accused Fury of missing weight on purpose and took shots at the former Love Island star, rubbing the success of his brother and WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. He claimed that Tommy could never live up to the standard set by his brother.

Deji reveals his plans against Floyd Mayweather at their faceoff

It seems like Deji knows exactly what to expect against Mayweather. However, the British YouTuber revealed his plan to overcome the challenge that is ‘Pretty Boy’. In a press conference leading up to the fight, Deji claimed that he would be looking to have fun in the ring and just land a single punch on Mayweather.

“I’m looking to land a punch. That would be amazing of course against the best defensive fighter in the world. So, I’m looking to have fun, I’m looking to showcase my skills and show what YouTubers can do. Me being in there with Floyd is only going to enhance my skills in boxing and push me further up the ladder. Then I’m going to keep dominating the YouTube boxing scene after.” he said

Given that Deji is 20 pounds heavier than Mayweather and a far less skilled boxer, this might be his only option. Moreover, if the YouTuber could get the former champ to go the distance, there are no judges to score the bout with it being an exhibition.
