      And he came face to face with his most inexperienced challenger of all time at the pre-fight weigh-in.
      Mayweather, 45, hit the scales at 70kg, or 11 stone, which is his second highest weight ever.
      Deji, 25, was up just before and came it at 79.5, or 12st 5lb to take a much needed weight advantage into the bout.
      Mayweather said: “I’ve displayed my skills for so many years, 26 years as a professional just being able.

      “In 1996 I went to the Olympics and competed against the best fighters from all around the world.
      “As a professional, fighting the top competition from all around the world and just being able to do exhibitions now and compete against people from all walks of life.
      “It’s great to be here and tomorrow, I’m going to go out there and put on a show.”
      Mayweather is boxing in his fifth exhibitions since officially retiring in 2017 after beating UFC superstar Conor McGregor, 34.

      “People didn’t know his name until he beat the bodybuilder [Anthony Joshua] the other day.

      “He was a little, small heavyweight who wasn’t going to do anything against AJ when Chisora fought him.
      “But then he stepped up and beat the big bodybuilder and now all of a sudden, he’s the killer. I don’t think so.
      “Listen, I rate Derek Chisora as highly as I rate Usyk, and I will train as hard for Derek as I will for any man in the world.
      “If I didn’t, I would have to be an absolute idiot – I will not underestimate Derek Chisora.

      “God forbid I get beat, it won’t be for the fact that I had an injury or I didn’t train hard enough, it would be the fact that I lost to a better man on the night.
      “We’re going to have a fight and that’s it. It’s going to be a good fight too, because he doesn’t shy away and I’m running nowhere, so someone is getting chinned.” More
