In a massive exhibition boxing match on Monday morning in Dubai, British-Nigerian Deji Olatunji was defeated by undefeated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather. However, not before Olatunji stunned the Dubai crowd with a punch in the fifth round.
Unsurprisingly, Mayweather prevailed, but not without the YouTube star’s efforts. The fight was stopped in Mayweather’s favor after the sixth round, despite the efforts of the Internet sensation. In between rounds, Mayweather even spent some time in his opponent’s corner, indicating how calm the battle was.
In the exhibition match, the 45-year-old boxer easily defeated the YouTuber without even breaking a sweat.
The audience yelled, “Come on, Deji,” and Mayweather even mocked him by amusing the crowd while keeping his hands by his sides.
Olatunji gave up because he couldn’t maintain his guard, which was a clear indication that Mayweather had had enough. As a result, referee Kenny Bayless was forced to call time on the fight because Mayweather had already put on a show. In the sixth round, he unleashed the beast, which was too much for Olatunji.
This was Mayweather’s most recent high-profile fight, which pitted him against the famous YouTuber, fighter, and singer Olajide Olatunji, also known as KSI. This is Mayweather’s fifth exhibition match since his retirement.
Olatunji lost the fight despite taking it seriously and preparing as though a championship belt were at stake. Olatunji even outweighed Mayweather by nearly 21 pounds (175.2 to 154.3), yet he still came up short.
