Not only did Floyd Mayweather Jr comprehensively beat YouTuber Deji, but he was also dancing and speaking to him while doing so.

YouTuber Deji was stopped in the sixth round of his exhibition bout with Mayweather Jr on Sunday night and the self-proclaimed 'TBE' (The Best Ever) had fun with the victory.

Mayweather Jr was dancing, taking the ring-card girls' job by holding between rounds and Deji has now revealed he was speaking to him while they were fighting.

"I mean, it was already unorthodox," Deji said at the post-fight press conference.

"I'm normally sparring people who are more technical, but he was just having fun in there and doing whatever.

"He was talking a lot, he was just saying, 'I'm Money Mayweather, I do what I do!' just all that."

With that being said, Deji did enjoy some success during the bout, as beforehand he had said at the press conference in London that his only aim was to at least hurt his opponent.

“I’m looking to land a punch,” he said. “That would be amazing of course against the best defensive fighter in the world.

"That’s cool, though, we had fun tonight. You guys wanted to see a little something. I had to close the gap, so when you close the gap that happens."
