But, he claimed that he has no idea who his opponent actually is.

When speaking to TMZ Sports about his upcoming fights, the Michigan-born boxer said: “I’ve got one with the guy Deji.

“I want to make sure I’m saying it right, it’s Deji right?

“We will be doing an exhibition in Dubai at the Coca-Cola Arena, that is in November.”

Although he claims that he is still unsure of who Deji is, Mayweather and his team have reportedly been in talks with the YouTube star for weeks in an attempt to secure the fight.

Deji, 25, recently defeated American YouTuber Fousey, 32, at the O2 Arena in London.

It marked his first boxing win following three successive losses against Jake Paul, Alex Wassabi and Vinnie Hacker.

He is now preparing to face the self-proclaimed Best Ever in a highly-anticipated exhibition in the Middle East.
