“But if it is, then f*** me I am going. I need to see him beat the f*** out of Mayweather, man. Or at least survive anyway.”
Deji, 25, went on a run of three losses in the ring but secured his first win in August, beating online rival Fousey, 32.
It was the night KSI, 29, beat rapper Swarmz, 25, and Mexican boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda, 23, on the SAME NIGHT.
Mayweather, 45, meanwhile officially retired in August 2017 after beating ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor, 34, in ten Las Vegas rounds.

If the attacker is coming from the front, he will bend at the knees to avoid getting kicked on either side. However, if the attack comes from behind, he stands up straight and blocks the kick with his foot.
Elbows

Hands
