Ahead of this showdown, her son and Mayweather both are engaging in media conferences to promote an upcoming event. Since Deji is in direct contact with Mayweather as an opponent, it is expected that his mother Yinka will also get an opportunity to meet Mayweather. Keeping this in mind, a fan on Twitter asked Yinka, “Can you please take Floyd Mayweather’s hat.”

To which Yinka replied, “I’ll not be disrespectful, I was not raised that way.”
