Floyd Mayweather is preparing for one of the biggest boxing matches ever and has met up with one of the biggest people in boxing – physically – ahead of that fight.

Mayweather will face Conor McGregor in the ring on August 26 at the T-Mobile Arena and the American has just completed a world tour to build hype for the highly anticipated encounter.

The veteran met up with another star outside of the squared circle on Sunday night as he posed for a snap with world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, who is visiting the United States.

The two sat next to each other as they were surrounded by members of Joshua’s entourage.

And Joshua captioned up the image: ‘Strength In Numbers’.

Joshua is likely to want to attend the extravaganza in Las Vegas next month and is almost certain to be handed a ticket.

But fans of the sport and the two fighters wanting to purchase a ticket will have to move swiftly on Monday evening.

Tickets for the event go on sale at 6pm in the UK, with the cheapest option for a seat in the arena clocking in at an expensive $500 (£385).

That is cheap compared to the cost of a front-row seat for the event, which will cost a staggering $10,000 (£7,706).
