In June 2021, inside the Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, Logan Paul squared off with Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition fight. As the bout was an exhibition, no winner was declared in the end. However, despite being a much shorter competitor in the ring, Mayweather, at times, had Paul in trouble. Although Paul was much taller and heavier than Floyd, the latter was more accurate with his shots.

In the brief Instagram clip Paul said, “I’mma let Jake have it. I’mma let Jake have it, for sure. I think he’s number one right now, like you know. Look at his record, numbers don’t lie. I’m number 2, okay? See I gotta say KSI’s number 3, right? He’s got a better record than me so, f*** it, I don’t want any beef. KSI is number 2, I’m number 3, whatever. Salt Papi is number 1. Jake Paul is number 2. Deji is number 3, and he’s gonna knockout Floyd Mayweather and that’s a fact.”

Alongside Logan Paul, KSI believes Deji will beat Floyd Mayweather in their fight

So far, Deji has only one victory in boxing since he turned pro. He fought against fellow YouTuber and rival YouTube rival Fousey at London’s O2 arena. Although he has only one victory, Logan Paul is not the only to believe he can beat Mayweather. Elder brother KSI also asserts that Deji can win.
