This Saturday (August 26th) McGregor and Mayweather will finally step into a boxing ring, following months of whispers and rumours, deals, press conferences and loads of trash-talking one of the most anticipated fights ever is only days away.
But if that wasn't enough Demi Lovato has being added to the event. She will sing the United States National Anthem.
This is the official Statement from Mayweather Promotions:
Singer-songwriter Demi Lovato will sing the National Anthem prior to the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor main event Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Lovato is a GRAMMY-nominated artist with one of the world’s most powerful voices on-and-off the stage and will be singing the anthem at a boxing event for the first time in her career. With more than 6 billion global single streams and nine platinum and multi-platinum singles to her name, Lovato recently released “Sorry Not Sorry,” which has quickly become one of 2017’s biggest hits.
