Conor McGregor Joins Anthony Joshua for Ringside Celebration After Knockout Victory
Anthony Joshua secured an impressive knockout victory over Robert Helenius on Saturday night, and to mark the occasion, Conor McGregor made a surprise appearance at ringside, offering Joshua a celebratory pint of his Irish Forged Stout. The heartwarming moment was captured in a picture shared by Matchroom Boxing on social media.
McGregor’s choice of drink is particularly significant as he is seen extending the pint towards Anthony Joshua. It is worth mentioning that the initials C.R.E.A.M in McGregor’s post refer to the iconic Wu-Tang Clan song, emphasizing the theme of cash reigning supreme. Additionally, Saudi Arabian officials were in attendance at the event, potentially paving the way for a future fight between Joshua and Deontay Wilder.
The fight between Anthony Joshua and Robert Helenius was initially arranged as a replacement for Dillian Whyte, who unfortunately failed a drug test. Despite the short notice, Helenius put up a tough fight at the O2 Arena, but ultimately succumbed to a devastating right hook in the seventh round.
In other news, Conor McGregor is eager to step back into the octagon and has expressed his readiness to face Michael Chandler in December this year. Despite facing obstacles from the United States Anti-Doping Agency, McGregor confidently asserted during an interview with talkSPORT that he will return to the cage. The Irish fighter plans to take on Chandler first, followed by Justin Gaethje for the BMF title, and ultimately conclude with a trilogy bout against Nate Diaz.
McGregor elaborated on his plans, stating, I’ve just got to do that [smack] him. I’m gonna grab him by the chest [and smack him]. That’s what I’ve got to do… Chandler next in December and then Gaethje, BMF, and then we’ll do the Nate trilogy.
Fans of the sport are eagerly anticipating McGregor’s return and are excited by the potential matchups on the horizon. With his trademark confidence and fighting spirit, McGregor promises to deliver electrifying fights that will leave audiences on the edge of their seats.
As the combat sports world continues to evolve, audiences can look forward to more thrilling moments both inside and outside the ring.
