Details of further media events are yet to be confirmed, though it is expected that the pair will also make at least one appearance on the other side of the Atlantic before meeting in the ring.

A statement on the Staples Center's official website said: “This will be a star-studded event that will feature a live performance and special guests. We invite all fans to come out and be a part of history and ticket is required to enter.”

Regarded by many as the finest boxer of his generation, Mayweather is duly considered the overwhelming favourite for the Las Vegas fight.

UFC lightweight champion McGregor, meanwhile, will be making his professional boxing debut when he enters the ring on 26 August.

Earlier this week, UFC president Dana White admitted that a McGregor victory would be the biggest upset in sporting history.
