One of the most anticipated fights in combat sports history takes place next month when Floyd Mayweather welcomes UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor to the boxing ring on Aug. 26 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The two men are set to throw down on the highly-anticipated date, but they will first have to survive a World Tour that spans three countries in four days to promote the fight.
During that time, the two men will be coming face-to-face for the first time.
As the build up continues to grow for the fight and ahead of next week’s World Tour, the folks at Showtime Boxing dropped the first official trailer for the Mayweather-McGregor bout.
Check it out:
