Ashley Theophane joined Adam and Johnny on this week's State of the Week as he discussed Floyd Mayweather's comeback fight against Conor McGregor.
The Londoner has based his career in Las Vegas after being signed by Mayweather's promotional company and revealed that he is fighting on the undercard for the American superstar's clash with UFC champion McGregor in Las Vegas on August 26.

A regular sparring partner for Mayweather, the 36-year-old gives his verdict on how the multi-weight champion will be preparing for his first fight in almost two years.
Theophane has been within touching distance of his own world title dream, suffering a ninth round stoppage defeat to WBA super-lightweight champion Adrien Broner last year.
Broner is edging closer to a New York showdown with Mikey Garcia on July 29, live on Sky Sports, and Theophane reveals whether he thinks his former opponent will emerge victorious.
Back in Britain, Joshua Buatsi makes his professional debut on the undercard of Frank Buglioni's British title defence against Ricky Summers, and Adam and Johnny set the scene for the bumper bill at The O2.
Watch Frank Buglioni against Ricky Summers this Saturday night, with Joshua Buatsi, Conor Benn, Lawrence Okolie, Ted Cheeseman and Reece Bellotti also in action at The 02, from 7.30pm on Sky Sports 1.
