Floyd Mayweather, the undefeated boxing great, defeated British-Nigerian Deji Olatunji in a spectacular exhibition boxing bout in Dubai on Monday morning, but not before Olatunji stunned the Dubai crowd with a strike in the fifth round.
To no one’s surprise, Mayweather won, but not without the efforts of the YouTube star, who took Mayweather to the sixth round before the fight was stopped in favour of the American. The battle was uncomplicated, with Mayweather even spending time in his opponent’s corner between rounds.
In the demonstration match, the 45-year-old boxer defeated the Youtuber convincingly without breaking a sweat.
The crowd shouted, “Come on, Deji” with Mayweather even taunting him by keeping his hands at his side and entertaining the crowd.

The fight carried on and after a while, Mayweather decided it was time to end it, as he’s already put on a show, and in the sixth round he released the beast which was too much for Olatunji, who gave up, as he couldn’t keep his guard up, a clear sign that he had enough, with referee Kenny Bayless forced to stop the match.
This was Mayweather’s latest mega-money venture coming against the brother of famed YouTuber, boxer and singer, Olajide Olatunji, popularly known as KSI. This is the fifth exhibition fight for Mayweather since his retirement.
Although Olatunji took it seriously and trained for the bout as if there was a championship belt to be fought, as he even outweighed Mayweather 175.2 to 154.3, about 21 pounds more than the legendary fighter, he eventually lost.
