Former five division world champion Floyd Mayweather believes that he provided a lot of entertainment for the viewing audience, this past Sunday when faced Youtuber Deji in an exhibition bout.
Floyd Mayweather’s exhibition Sunday night didn’t resemble his first four exhibitions, let alone any of his 50 professional prizefights. The legendary five-division champion clearly took it easy on social media star Deji Olatunji during their eight-round exhibition at Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. London’s Olatunji, a brother of KSI, took the glorified sparring session seriously, but the inexperienced southpaw obviously couldn’t compete with even a 45-year-old Mayweather.
Tommy Fury has a new opponent for what is now an exhibition match. Meanwhile, it is neither fight nor flight for Paul Bamba who is momentarily stranded in Dubai. The previously scheduled Fury-Bamba will no longer procced, nor will Bamba any long remain on Sunday’s DAZN Pay-Per-View event (also available on PPV.com) from Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. Manchester’s Fury will now face Rolly Lambert, a Cameroonian based out of Dubai who agreed to step in on less than 24 hours’ notice.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. is set to continue with his active exhibition tour. The status of the show’s co-feature is not quite as clear, however. More than five years after his final sanctioned bout, Mayweather showed off a still-chiseled physique as he weighed 154.3 pounds for his third exhibition fight of 2022. The Hall of Fame former five division champion faces Deji, a social media influencer who weighed 175 ¼ pounds for their scheduled eight-round bout atop a DAZN Pay-Per-View event Sunday from Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. In the co-feature, unbeaten prospect Tommy Fury—the younger brother of lineal/WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury—caused trouble at the scales. Manchester’s Fury (8-0, 4KOs) was well over the light heavyweight limit, weighing a beefy 181 ½ pounds for his scheduled six-round bout with Paul Bamba (5-2, 4KOs), a New York City-based Boricua who weighed 174.6 pounds.
Former five division world champion Floyd Mayweather is planning for more exhibition fights in 2023. Mayweather retired from the sport in 2017, with an undefeated record of 50-0, after stopping UFC superstar Conor McGregor in a huge cross-sport collision.
