Floyd Mayweather returns to action this weekend when he will square off with the YouTube star Deji at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. For the third time this year, the walking legend’s eyes would be set on cashing in the hefty sum through his world exhibition tour under the umbrella of the Global Titans.

The former five-weight division champ hung up his gloves in 2017 after cementing a perfect 50-0 record by knocking out the UFC megastar Conor McGregor. But the decision to retire did not keep him away from the sport. He found an easy way of keeping himself involved in the sport. He began putting on exhibitions in order to promote boxing across the globe. It also helped him in making good money.

‘The Pretty Boy’ is in no mood to challenge himself anymore. He has already proved his legitimacy in the ring to go down in history as one of the greatest boxers of all time. So to keep himself at ease, Mayweather is choosing to face the British YouTuber. However, it looks like the fight might be in jeopardy due to an issue between the two sides with regard to gloves and round length.

It was agreed that the bout would be contested with 14oz gloves and would take place over eight rounds of two minutes. However, according to the Mirror Mayweather’s side wants the match to be held with 10oz gloves. Morover, there was also a disagreement over whether the rounds are two or three minutes.

This was not all as fan also reacted to the fight getting called off just hours before the scheduled time.
