A win for the pair of former world heavyweight champions sets them up for a blockbuster back in Saudi in March.

McGregor was in attendance for AJ’s last fight in August when he knocked out Robert Helenius at the O2 Arena.

A month later, he was invited over to Tyson Fury’s crossover clash with ex-UFC champion Francis Ngannou.

And he watched as Ngannou, 37, dropped Fury, 35, but lost a controversial points decision.

The fight caused Fury’s undisputed title decider with Oleksandr Usyk, 36, to be postponed to February 17.

So Joshua, 34, and Wilder, 38, stepped in to co-headline and again the stars are out in Riyadh.

McGregor, 35, travelled in style as he strutted across a runway to board his private jet wearing a sharp blue suit.

And he will be seated next to football icon and Al-Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo, 38, in the front row.
