The former UFC fighter, whose contract expired last year, was fishing for some drama with KSI. Olatunji avoided confrontation with Woodley as much as he could, but the 40-year-old wasn’t ready to back away.

KSI attended the event to support his little brother, who was going up against one of the modern legends of boxing. Ultimately, Deji succumbed to a 6th-round KO to Floyd Mayweather Jr. but put up a great fight.
