Conor McGregor's post on X

In the picture from the original post from Matchroom Boxing, McGregor can be seen offering a sip of his Irish Forged Stout to Joshua.

The "C.R.E.A.M" in McGregor's post is a reference to the famous song of the same name from hip-hop collective Wu-Tang Clan, which is an acronym for 'Cash Rules Everything Around Me'.

Anthony Joshua's opponent Robert Helenius had filled in on short notice after original opponent Dillian Whyte failed a drug test. He put up a competitive fight at the O2 Arena on Saturday night before being hit by a thunderous right in the seventh round. Saudi Arabian officials were also present at the event, as they anticipate booking a bout between Joshua and Deontay Wilder.
