The UFC superstar cut short a family holiday to make sure he was in the house at the O2 Arena.

His Irish Forged Stout was an official sponsor of the show and McGregor took a seat ringside for the night.

But before Derek Chisora controversially beat Gerald Washington, the Irishman strutted around the ring.

He even posed for a picture with promoter Eddie Hearn.

But what McGregor did not realise is that he actually broke British Boxing Board of Control protocol.

As only BBBoC licence holders are allowed in the ring.

McGregor had gifted Joshua a box of his Irish Forged Stout earlier in the week and hailed the ex-champion.

He tweeted: “This man @anthonyjoshua is the definition of class, quality, and loyalty!

“What him and @EddieHearn have built is just absolute magic!

“I cannot wait to witness AJ Powerhouse do work this weekend and live from ringside! Wow! Honored! Let’s go!
