Floyd Mayweather vs Deji LIVE: Stream, latest updates and result plus Tommy Fury fight recap

Re-live round-by-round updates after Mayweather and Deji went head to head in Dubai, with Tommy Fury in action on the undercard

The Legend Of Floyd Mayweather

Floyd Mayweather made a swift return to the ring as he took on Deji in Dubai on Sunday, stopping the YouTube star two months after his last outing.

Mayweather, who held world titles in numerous weight-classes in a glistening in-ring career, retired unbeaten in 2017 with a late TKO win against former UFC champion Conor McGregor. Since then, the American, 45, has competed exclusively in exhibition contests, stopping kickboxing star Tenshin Nasukawa in 2018 and mixed martial artist Mikuru Asakura this September, and going the distance with YouTuber Logan Paul last year and fellow ex-boxer Don Moore this May.

On Sunday, Mayweather fought Deji, brother of fellow YouTube star KSI and the American’s least-qualified opponent yet. Briton Deji (real name Oladeji Olatunji) entered the bout with a losing boxing record but had recently secured his first win, stopping fellow YouTuber Fousey in August. The 25-year-old was clearly out of his depth in Dubai, with Mayweather toying with him throughout the fight before securing a TKO in the sixth round. On the undercard, Tommy Fury – half-brother of heavyweight boxing champion Tyson – went the distance with Rolly Lambert in an exhibition bout, after the Briton’s scheduled pro clash with Paul Bamba fell through eight hours before it was set to take place.

Taylor has been fighting almost exclusively on the front foot, backing up Fincham and throwing lots of hooks to the body of the Briton.

Taylor is a former opponent of Tommy Fury, who outpointed the American last August.

Taylor has taken an aggressive approach so far, though Fincham is showing decent fundamentals despite his inexperience.

So, Tommy Fury was due to face American Paul Bamba tonight, but apparently the specified weight for the Briton differed across each man’s contracts...

As such, the fighters were unable to agree on a final contract; both Fury and Bamba have said this was the case.

Fury, 23, will now box Rolly Lambert on short notice, in an exhibition bout made up of six two-minute rounds.

Fury is 8-0 (4 knockouts) as a professional, while Cameroonian Lambert, 33, is 15-1-1 (12 KOs).

Mayweather vs Deji LIVE

Floyd Mayweather makes a swift return to the ring as he takes on YouTube star Deji this evening, within two months of the boxing icon’s last outing.

Mayweather, who held world titles in numerous weight-classes in a glistening in-ring career, retired unbeaten in 2017 with a late TKO win against former UFC champion Conor McGregor. Since then, the American, 45, has competed exclusively in exhibition contests, stopping kickboxing star Tenshin Nasukawa in 2018 and mixed martial artist Mikuru Asakura this September, and going the distance with YouTuber Logan Paul last year and fellow ex-boxer Don Moore this May.

Next up for Mayweather is Deji, brother of fellow YouTube star KSI and the American’s least-qualified opponent yet, who takes on “Money” in Dubai this evening. Briton Deji (real name Oladeji Olatunji) holds a losing boxing record but recently secured his first win, stopping fellow YouTuber Fousey in August. The 25-year-old will be out of his depth in Dubai but will look to make the most of the opportunity to box arguably the greatest fighter to ever grace the sport. On the undercard, Tommy Fury – half-brother of heavyweight boxing champion Tyson – takes on Rolly Lambert in an exhibition bout, after the Briton’s scheduled pro clash with Paul Bamba fell through eight hours before it was set to take place.
