FLOYD MAYWEATHER has revealed talks to fight in the UK in February after his exhibition with British YouTube boxing star Deji.
Mayweather returns to the ring on November 13 in Dubai, against Deji, brother of social media sensation KSI.
The boxing legend has had four exhibition bout since officially retiring in 2017 after beating UFC superstar Conor McGregor.

Mayweather, 45, revealed, alongside his promotional partner Keane Anis and Global Titans, that talks are already underway.
He said: “What’s so great about this fight is, we’re able to come together.

Mayweather’s most recent exhibition was against MMA fighter Mikuru Asakura, which he won in two rounds in September.
That came after facing featherweight kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa, YouTuber Logan Paul and ex-sparring partner Don Moore.
But he returns at the Coca-Cola Arena next weekend against Deji, 25, who in August claimed his only win in four fights.
