HISTORICAL FACTS: Floyd mayweather vs deji in doubt as bitter row erupts hours before fight | History Defined

Floyd Mayweather's exhibition bout with YouTube star Deji is in jeopardy due to an issue between the two sides with regards to gloves and round length.

It appeared to be agreed that they would wear 14oz gloves for the bout, and that it would take place over eight rounds of two minutes. But Mirror Fighting sources have indicated that the Mayweather side are keen to have the bout take place with 10oz gloves, while there is also a disagreement over whether the rounds are two or three minutes.

Reportedly Deji has arrived at the Coca-Cola Arena without a pair of 10oz gloves, having previously been lead to believe that an agreement had been reached over the size during the week. But Mayweather's team would rather he fought in the smaller gloves despite the bout being just an exhibition.
