Floyd Mayweather Jr and Conor McGregor met face to face on Tuesday for the first time, at least publicly, as they kicked off a four-city, three-country international press tour to drum up interest in their 12-round super welterweight matchup on 26 August at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
McGregor said: 'On August 26, this man will be unconscious, he's too small, he's too frail.

'I will come out and paint many pictures. I can fight in my styles. I can dazzle him.
'He will be unconscious inside four rounds. He's not experienced this. I don't fear him. This is a limited set of rules that makes this half a fight. If this was a fight, it wouldn't even take one round
'All I need is a gum shield and I'm good to go. I'm just feeling so good, I can't even contain it.
'[The press conference] was a good back and forth.
'It's all noise at the end of the day. The fight is the fight. We're going to get in and we're going to fight.
