Within minutes of arriving at ringside, McGregor immediately played to the crowd as he was shown on the big screens inside the famous arena. First, he posed with Terence Crawford before taking his jacket off and putting a cigar in his mouth.

Speaking last month, McGregor explained what happened when he was caught on camera feeding Joshua some of his Forged Irish Stout after the former Team GB fighter brutally knocked out Robert Helenius at the O2 Arena in London last August.

Taking to Instagram on the one-year anniversary, he wrote: "1 year ago today, Forged Irish Stout busy year! Also for the record I didn’t make Joshua do anything.

“He exited the ring post his amazing victory and came straight to me and said “where is my Forged!” I gave him mine. It was the first time that had happened at a fight.
