He danced, chanted and even held up the ring card in between rounds.
But Deji, 25, managed to land a few blows and walked away with a moral victory after marking up unbeaten Mayweather, 45.
He posted on Instagram: “I gave Floyd Mayweather a black eye.”
The social media sensation, brother to KSI, admitted he wasted no time in making the online brag.
He joked: “It was amazing, I guess I was a little bit eager! I cut Floyd, you guys saw it, right?”
Deji was halted on his feet in the corner following a barrage of punches by Mayweather, but contested that it was premature.
He said after the bout: “It was an early stoppage, I wanted to carry on. But I mean, boxing’s boxing, I understand. It feels good, honestly.”

Legs

Elbows

Hands
Boxers use both their hands and arms to prevent incoming blows. Boxers raise their fists to block incoming blows and then move in the direction of the attacker’s attack. Then they make contact with the attacker’s fist.
Knees
Boxers should bend their knees when receiving blows to the abdomen, stomach, or chest. Defense purposes are often served by knee strikes.
Feet
