| Floyd Mayweather's bout with Conor McGregor is not the first time a top boxer has put his reputation on the line against a martial artist.
Muhammad Ali agreed to travel to Japan to take on wrestler Antonio Inoki in a so-called 'mixed martial arts championship of the world' in June 1976.
The initial plan was for the pair to follow a script in which Ali would pummel his opponent, who would then claim an improbable victory while Ali was distracted.
