Boxing champ poses with Gladys Knight ahead of fight with Pacquiao

Before he gets into the ring with Manny Pacquiao on May 2 in Las Vegas for one of the biggest fights in boxing history, Floyd Mayweather had some time to pose with the legendary singer Gladys Knight.

The boxing champion hooked up with the 'Midnight Train To Georgia' singer while at a training session in Los Angeles while preparing for the Saturday fight.

Khighty posted the photo of them both on her Twitter writing: ''The champ @FloydMayweather and I! So good seeing you dear! #TheChamp #FloydMayweather.''

Mayweather then retweeted the post to his 5.8million followers and earlier in the day, he thanked Knight for watching him in the gym.

''Thank you @MsGladysKnight for coming to support me at the gym today.''

Mayweather is expected to get £120m from the fight, the biggest event in the history of boxing, with Pacquiao.
