      But his own uncle Jeff was left stunned that Mayweather did not opt to face his brother, social media sensation, rapper and celebrity boxer KSI.
      He told FightHype: “Any fight that Floyd’s in is big.
      “But it’s funny because some guy reached out to me on social media and said, ‘You nephew’s fighting Deji.’
      “I said, ‘I don’ think so.’ I mean, I was surprised to hear it because I didn’t think Deji was big enough.

      “If you’re going to fight Deji, why not fight KSI instead? That makes more sense, that gives you a whole bunch more fans.
      “KSI is like the Paul brothers, basically you’re getting one of the ultimate guys in YouTube.”
      KSI, 29, trained with Jeff for his rematch win over Logan Paul, 27, in 2019 which came after they drew a year later.
      The Londoner returned in August after three years out and beat rapper Swarmz, 25, and Mexican boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda, 23, on the same night.

      On the undercard, Deji, 25, beat American Fousey, 32, which followed on a run of THREE losses.
      It has somehow put him in line to face Mayweather, 45, in the Middle East.
      Jeff said: “I think Floyd will have to carry Deji for the fight to end with both guys standing on their feet.
      “I think if Floyd really goes out there, he’ll be in trouble.”
      Mayweather himself returns on the weekend in Japan in a three-round exhibition against MMA star Mikuru Asakura, 30.
      It will be his fourth exhibition since retiring professionally in 2017 after beating ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor, 34.

      It was in Tokyo in 2018 when the American first returned to the ring, a year after retiring as a professional following victory over Conor McGregor, 34.
      Mayweather beat Tenshin Nasukawa, 24, in one round and went on to face YouTuber Logan Paul, 27, and ex-sparring partner Don Moore in further exhibition bouts.
      Asakura, 30, is the latest man to welcome the Hall of Famer, 45, back to the ring.
      The southpaw has 16 wins, three losses and one no-contest in MMA.

      He has two victories on the spin, most recently in December against Yutaka Saito, 34, who was the first man to ever beat Asakura in RIZIN.
      But away from the ring, he is a popular YouTuber, with almost 3 MILLION subscribers.
      Asakura mixes training videos with daily vlogs and even pranks and unsurprisingly has documented the lead up to his fight with Mayweather.
      Like the boxing icon, Asakura also has a love for cars, posing alongside a Bentley and Mercedes on his Instagram.

      The former MMA champion is joined in the sport by his younger brother Kai, 28, arguably the bigger name in the Far East.
      Kai even posed with Mayweather and RIZIN president Nobuyuki Sakakibara in May, fuelling rumours of a future fight.
      But it is brother Mikuru who faces the self-proclaimed Best Ever, and vows to pull of the upset.
      He said: “I’m an MMA fighter but, I’m going to use this opportunity, and I’m going to use him to raise my name and value internationally.
      “I will win this fight.”

      And Woodley, who twice lost to Paul, beat three others in the vote.
      Paul asked his former opponent: “You down to do this in January in the US? 180 pounds?”
      To which Woodley, 40, claimed he was ready to fight right now.
      KSI, 29, responded: “Jake Paul really got you on a leash…”
      The YouTuber was set to return against Alex Wassabi, 32, but the American pulled out amid a concussion scare.
      Woodley offered to step in on late notice, but instead KSI fought rapper Swarmz, 25, and so-called professional boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda, 23.

      So he responded to KSI: “And i’ll dog walk your ass so now what? You Wouldnt accept a fight on 2 weeks notice.
      “Instead you fought 2 weak ass warm ups. You know my people run the play and put your money where your mouth is!

      “Otherwise keep my name out your mouth before you get slapped in it.”
      Woodley was beaten by Paul on points in August 2021 and then got knocked out in their short-notice rematch last December.

      “Only reason I would fight you is to show everyone how ass you both are, by beating you in a quicker time lmao.”
      Woodley remains in contention to fight KSI in January, along with Conor McGregor’s training partner Dillon Danis, 29.
