“Huge thanks to Global Titans and my team for creating this incredible opportunity,” said Deji.

“It’s a privilege to be headlining this phenomenal spectacle in Dubai, against the all-time great Floyd Mayweather. This is going to be fun!”

Mayweather said last week ahead of his fight with Asakura that following a November fight in Dubai, he would be facing Conor McGregor for a second time in 2023.
