Floyd Mayweather and Deji Olatunji. The 25-year-old confirmed that Ryan Taylor, who boasts 2.4 million subscribers on the popular video sharing website, helped to finalise a deal for him to fight the boxing icon.

He revealed the news while at the Sidemen Charity football match last month. “It was Ryan Taylor who sorted it out," Deji said in the changing room prior to the match. "He's a connected man, and a lovely guy as well." Taylor, who also has experience in the ring, once lost his head after he was disqualified in the first round of his grudge match with DK Money.

The wild scenes almost led to a riot as furious fans were asked to return to their seats. Taylor had insisted that he'd never heard of the American social media star - and that he'd only taken the fight to get a glimpse of Drama Alert host Daniel 'Keemstar' Keem. "I just don't know who he is," Taylor told Mirror Fighting. "He's irrelevant, I've never seen or heard of him before this.

I got asked to do the fight and of course I accepted it, but I only did that in the hopes that I would see his uncle [Keem]. "That man's got a very negative social following and he deserves a good hiding, which I was hoping to give him in London but he hasn't turned up.
