On November 13th, retired boxer Floyd Mayweather will fight the fourth exhibition fight of his life. Mayweather, who recently fought Japanese fighter Mikuru Asakura from Rizin, is looking to settle scores with YouTuber Deji. On the occasion of the upcoming event on November 13th, Mayweather attended a press conference centered on Deji and him.

The two had a friendly face-off after they had discussed the fight. While still talking about the Mayweather-Deji fight, ‘Money’ was asked about Gervonta Davis. A reporter inquired ‘TBE’ about Davis’ current status with him. Doing so, the reporter referred to Davis’ past statement in which he claimed he was not signed to a single soul in his present career of pro boxing. Therefore, the question was whether ‘Tank’ was a free agent or Mayweather promotions had him still signed.
