Mayweather and McGregor in Wembley tour date

(UDHAYAM, COLOMBO) – Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor are set to begin a global publicity tour at Wembley Stadium this month to promote their Las Vegas fight.

Former Boxing World Champion Mayweather and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Champion McGregor, who are due to box on August 26, will begin the worldwide promotion in London, a source close to both camps told the BBC.

Thousands of fans could attend in what is expected to be a free event.

Details of the date, ticketing and arrangements are still closely guarded.

American Mayweather, a former Champion at five weights, is coming out of retirement at 40 to fight 28-year-old UFC Lightweight Champion McGregor from Ireland.

Both fighters are expected to earn up to $100m from the bout, which would make it one of the richest in history.
