Floyd Mayweather beats Conor McGregor by TKO in the tenth round - and insists $600MILLION 'fight of the century' will be his last as JLo, Leonardo DiCaprio and a host of stars look on ringside
Floyd Mayweather has defeated Conor McGregor after the two men squared off in what was billed as the Fight of the Century in the highly anticipated and Hollywood studded match in a Las Vegas arena on Saturday night. Mayweather outlasted McGregor, who began to visibly falter before he fell against the ropes in a technical knockout, winning Mayweather's 50th undefeated match as the champion boxer swore it was his last fight ever. The two super-welterweight fighters had been preparing for the big boxing match for months and the event generated hype as the world waited to see who would become boxing's undisputed king. The audience packed with 20,000 ravenous fans at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with private jets ferrying celebrities into Vegas as bets worth more than a million dollars were placed on the match. Some of those A-listers who took their seats ringside were Bruce Willis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lopez, Vanessa Hudgens, Demi Lovato and LeBron James, all spotted eagerly waiting for the big fight. The money-spinning showdown is likely to break all records and surpass the $600million generated by Mayweather's fight with Manny Pacquiao in 2015.
