Last month, Floyd danced and laughed through most of his clash with Deji before claiming a stoppage win in the sixth round.
The 50-0 all-time best shared the ring with 1-3 YouTuber Deji – real name Oladeji Olatunji – and the competition was waved off at the first sign of his opponent’s distress at Dubai’s Coca-Cola Arena.
In September, Floyd confirmed he would earn $15-20million (£13-18million) from his exhibition bout with Mikuru Asakura.
Mayweather took on the MMA fighter on September 25 at Saitama Super Arena in Japan.

He said at the time that the nine-minute fight would earn him “millions” of dollars per 60 seconds and that he learned to “work smarter, not harder.”
When asked how much money he would make before the game, Mayweather said, “It’s always a couple million a minute.
“I will make between 15 and 20 million dollars from this exhibition alone. This is only from this exhibition. So it’s cool. Nine minutes, 20 million, not bad.
He continued: “Trade shows also give me the opportunity to travel more. I have always traveled extensively, but I am able to entertain people all over the world.

“I couldn’t really fight in Japan, but they love it when I do shows. They love it when I come over and perform. It gives them a small chance to see old Mayweather. It is a good feeling.
“I earn a lot of money with these exhibitions. But like I said, I don’t take abuse.
“If they were going to do any physical harm, I’d have to walk away completely. I will not put myself in a position where I will be brutally beaten or punished.’

It was also revealed by Will Smith in October that Floyd, who mixes in celebrity circles, called him every day for 10 days to check in after the actor beat Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.
Men In Black actor Will, 54 – who faced career ruin when he hit Chris, 57, in March after the star made an ill-advised joke about his wife Jada – praised Floyd, 45, for his kindness.
In a video obtained by TMZ, the star, who was speaking at a recent event in London promoting the new film Emancipation, said: “I also want to say something about Floyd. So, we met, we saw each other, but we weren’t like friends.
“And the day after the Oscars, he called me every day for ten days. “And he said, ‘Ay, you know yourself as a champion, right? You’re good? You know yourself as a champion, right? I want you to hear my voice when you say it.”
“That was every day he called me … and it’s like, that’s my forever pal right there.”
