Reports suggest Mayweather will sign a deal to fight UFC icon Conor McGregor with the Irishman determined to secure the historic bout, and Joshua is keen to be part of the event should it take place.
‘Get me on the undercard!’ Joshua was captured telling Mayweather by YouTube channel iFL TV.
McGregor, who confirmed his place as the biggest star in UFC when he became its first dual-weight world champion last year, signed a contract for the historic cross-over fight earlier this week as the money-spinning match up moved another step closer and Mayweather, a former pound-for-pound king who initially retired from the ring in 2015, confirmed on Saturday that he would only return to boxing for a showdown with the MMA fighter.
‘McGregor is the only fight I will come back for,’ he said ‘That’s 100 per cent. It’s the only fight that makes sense to me ‘I’ve accomplished everything else. Is this one extra obstacle to overcome?’
