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.

“It’s seriously tasty and incredibly refreshing you won’t get better! I don’t blame him one bit I am sure he enjoyed it thoroughly after the fight. So much so he ordered multiple keg loads of it to his local pub!

"Top man, top fighter, top Stout, Forged Irish Stout! Our partnership with Matchroom Boxing has been so good and with their fighters also!

"This is the fighters stout, Forged Irish Stout! For the working man and woman!

“What a year it has been for Forged I am very proud and grateful and extremely driven being at the helm of this quality product. It’s quality, point blank. BEST ON THE MARKET BY FAR!

“We have some mega announcements coming soon for you all, stay tuned! FORGED ARMY!”
