Conor McGregor found it hysterical as Oleksandr Usyk copied his ‘billionaire strut’ at Wembley Stadium.
Usyk and McGregor were both ringside in a star-studded cast of combat sports superstars, who watched on as Anthony Joshua was knocked out by Daniel Dubois in a stunning upset.

The high-profile pair met backstage with McGregor greeting Usyk who stood chatting with an embrace.
He then urged the Ukrainian to be at his next bare-knuckle boxing card in Marbella, insisting the invite was open for the recent undisputed champion to be ringside.
The heavyweight star found the exchange hilarious and after McGregor had walked away he named him as a ‘crazy guy.
But the funniest moment came, when Usyk decide to copy McGregor’s famous ‘billionaire strut’.
It was a seamless impression and it saw members of the champion’s team burst into laughter.
McGregor himself has since seen the footage of the impression, and reposted it on social media with several laughing emojis.
The pair clearly get on well, and could well link up when BKFC lands in Spain on October 12.
His famous strut he has used during some of his most iconic UFC fights before fights and even after winning.
It is not the first time that the pair from different combat disciplines have interacted, with Usyk having even called out the Irish superstar.
He challenged the star to a potential fight in MMA or in bare-knuckle boxing, despite their sizeable weight difference.

And team member Sergey Lapin insists it could be part of the champion’s future plan.
He said: “He’s proven he’s the best of his generation and, once he’s retired Tyson Fury, he will consider his options.
“Maybe that’s dropping down in weight again, or maybe there’s a wildcard option on the table for him.
“Be it in the boxing ring, the MMA cage or even Conor McGregor‘s Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.”
The pair watched on as Usyk’s former two-time rival Joshua was dismantled by Dubois.
Usyk could well now be on for a rematch with ‘Dynamite’ for the undisputed titles if he is able to beat Tyson Fury for a second time on December 21.
McGregor himself is waiting for a UFC comeback date with his fight against Michael Chandler cancelled in July after he withdrew.
Chandler has now moved on and he hasn’t yet pencilled in a clash for his return, which would be his first appearance since 2021.
