Floyd Mayweather will take to the ring in some style on Saturday night with the American planning to sport a designer black and gold robe as he walks out to face Conor McGregor.
Mayweather is putting the finishing touches on his preparations for the bout against McGregor and was spotted trying out some snazzy pre-fight attire as he gears up for the showdown in Las Vegas.
Mayweather looked relaxed as he wore the robe on Friday, just hours ahead of his money-spinning mega fight against the UFC man.

Plein and Mayweather have collaborated to produce the robe and the boxer seemed happy with the final product as he tried it out at the luxury designer's store in Las Vegas.
Mayweather's entire entourage will also be clad in Phillip Plein attire as they join him at the T-Mobile Arena ahead of the fight.
His opponent McGregor has also had a robe custom made for Saturday night's bout - the Irishman's is produced by Italian designer Donatella Versace.

McGregor unveiled the design earlier this month as he posed in the robe for a photo posted to his Instagram account.
His robe, which shares a similar colour scheme to Mayweather's, came complete with a 'McGregor. The Notorious' motif sewed in to the back.
The two fighters came face-to-face on Friday night at the weigh-in - both were under the 154lbs super-welterweight limit - Mayweather at 149lbs and McGregor at 153lbs.
Mayweather goaded his opponent, telling him it would be both his first and last boxing fight while McGregor responded by roaring into the American's face.

One man who is backing
McGregor to cause a sensational upset is Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The Red Devils striker said: '[McGregor] is the Ibrahimovic of martial arts and I'm McGregor of the football world. So I see him with his confidence.
He will win, because he believes in himself so much and like I say, in everything you do the mental part is 50 per cent.
'If you have the mental, the head, you can do it and achieve, and then at the same time he's skilful, he is the one he is. So I believe in Conor.'

Dana White has estimated that Floyd Mayweather will earn around $15 million (£12 million) more than Conor McGregor from their mega-fight.
‘And if the fight sells as well as I think it can, Floyd makes a little north of ($100) million and Conor makes $75 (million).'
