Anthony Joshua vs Robert Helenius: Conor McGregor will be present at the ringside
This year began with an unexpected alliance in the combat world — the camaraderie between Conor McGregor and Boxing Promoter Eddie Hearn. In May, Hearn and the UFC sensation were spotted side by side at the 3Arena, witnessing Katie Taylor’s showdown against Chantelle Cameron as the main attraction. Interestingly, McGregor is now poised to make another ringside appearance, this time for the Joshua vs. Helenius fight.
Confirmed by Michael Benson’s tweet, McGregor secured ringside spot for this weekend heavyweight showdown, signaling his presence at the less hyped match given earlier it was huge where Whyte and Joshua would have made the event more bigger. But nonetheless boxing fans finally have something to watch out for this weekend.
It appears that McGregor is poised to throw his support behind Joshua. During the time when Joshua was gearing up to unveil his opponent for the Helenius bout, and no opponent had been revealed yet, McGregor happened to be one of the individuals who tweeted about the impending significant announcement. After a few hours had passed, news emerged confirming that Joshua’s opponent would indeed be Helenius.
This sequence of events strongly suggests that McGregor has maintained communication with Joshua and was privy to the details. This, in turn, makes it quite evident that McGregor will be present at ringside, enthusiastically cheering for Joshua during the match. Indeed, McGregor is someone that even if he is not fighting just his persona is enough to add excitement in the event. And now the less talked event has started chatter around it.
