This morning, 9-3 Anthony Joshua punched and knocked out former UFC king Francis Ngannou. The highlight fight at the famous boxing event “Knock-out Chaos” ended quickly after less than 2 rounds. Many sports stars and celebrities directly or indirectly watched the Joshua – Ngannou match and of course the “loud fighter” Conor McGregor is indispensable.
Remember the last time McGregor appeared live was Joshua’s match against boxer Robert Helenius at the O2 arena in London last August. At that time, McGregor made TV viewers “stunned” with the act of “pouring beer into Joshua’s mouth” right on the stage.
Exactly, after Joshua knocked out Helenius in round 7 and stepped down from the ring with blood from his nose, McGregor came closer to celebrate “wildly” and then poured a glass of Forged Irish black beer. into the British boxer’s mouth and forced him to drink it. Notably, this is the dark beer brand that McGregor invested in building.
Of course, McGregor can act so aggressively because the former UFC king and Joshua are relatively close friends. Joshua himself has repeatedly stated that “McGregor’s glory on the UFC mixed martial arts stage is the inspiration that helps him compete more explosively”.
Last night and this morning, McGregor could not be present in person in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to cheer on his close friend Joshua. However, despite only responding with just 3 words when commenting under Joshua’s post on his social network account after the match, McGregor still attracted a lot of attention.
Obviously, not only McGregor was excited with the quick victory that showed the dominance of former world champion Anthony Joshua. It is known that famous sports figures present at the stadium such as coach Jose Mourinh or former football superstar “fat” Ronaldo also stayed for a long time to celebrate with the British boxer.
