Deji Confirms Floyd Mayweather Can Read!

Publish date: 2024-03-29

Five-division boxing champion Floyd Mayweather is one of the most accomplished boxers in history. But he has frequently been labeled as being illiterate and unable to read. Recently, British YouTuber Deji Olatunji and Mayweather squared off in Dubai at The Global Titans Fight Series. Well after the fight, Deji disclosed that he had witnessed Mayweather’s genuine reading ability.

Deji recently appeared on the ‘What’s Good Podcast’, where he spilled some beans about Floyd Mayweather’s reading ability. Deji explained, “I actually now know that Floyd can read okay because of the UK press conference. He had a laptop right, and had like points to say how big was it.”

The rumor that Mayweather couldn’t read first circulated after he and his close friend—now enemy—50 Cent engaged in an online feud. The rapper challenged Mayweather to read a page of the Harry Potter book. Additionally, if the boxer succeeded in this task, the rapper said he would donate $750,000 to Mayweather’s chosen charity. 

Apparently, Mayweather did not reply to the 50 Cent’s challenge. But the rapper poked the boxer again on the Jimmy Kimmel Show. This time the boxer eventually retaliated on Twitter by posting two images of his enormous paychecks. 

Floyd Mayweather rumored to make another billion-dollar run with his upcoming fight 

‘Money’ has amassed a fortune through his successful career and he is regarded as the richest boxer in the world. He has surpassed the billion-dollar mark in career earnings. With a perfect record of 50-0, the American boxer retired from professional boxing in 2017. But it appears that even after his retirement, there is some unfinished business that he has to handle. 

Legendary UFC fighter Conor McGregor reportedly intends to make a comeback after missing time due to an injury. However, it is now expected that he would make a comeback, and a fight with Mayweather might be entailed. According to reports, there will be two fights, the first in a boxing ring and the second in the octagon.
