It’s a pose you see prior to a major fight and one that Conor McGregor has posed for in the past.

But surely the Irishman hasn’t agreed to fight billionaire businessman Richard Branson?

The Irishman who has taken the MMA world by storm in recent years, posted a photo on his official Twitter account with the caption ‘Face off with Mr Branson.’

The pair posed barechested at Dublin’s Pendulum Summit where Branson was the keynote speaker.

Luckily for Branson, it was all in the name of banter and the duo joked with each other to the delight of the audience.
