Thursday 15 June 2017 12:44, UK
Following news that Floyd Mayweather will return to the ring to face UFC star Conor McGregor, we look back at when the American star switched codes to face WWE wrestler Big Show.
Former multi-division world champion Mayweather fought and defeated wrestling giant Big Show in a No Disqualification wrestling match at Wrestlemania XXIV in March 2008.
The fight exploded into life when Mayweather threw a series of hard-hitting punches towards Big Show before 'Money' and his accomplices quickly exited the ring.
The wrestling star managed to get Mayweather back into the ring, but as he was about to chokeslam 'Money', he was struck by a steel chair.
Mayweather then grabbed that chair and hit Big Show multiple times on the head before he removed his right glove and put on a pair of brass knuckles to hit the wrestling giant in the face.

As a result, Big Show was knocked out as he could not answer the referee's 10 count, and Mayweather was declared the winner.
It has been confirmed that Mayweather will fight UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor in a boxing match in Las Vegas on August 26.
