t’s been one year since Conor McGregor and Anthony Joshua went viral for their post fight drink.

The UFC superstar was ringside to watch Joshua brutally knock out late-replacement opponent Robert Helenius at the O2 Arena.

Immediately in the aftermath of the win AJ took a sip of the Irishman’s Forged Irish Stout and many online joked that McGregor had forced him to drink it.

The former UFC double-champ has now addressed those rumours in a post on Instagram he wrote:

“1 year ago today, Forged Irish Stout busy year! Also for the record I didn’t make Joshua do anything.

“He exited the ring post his amazing victory and came straight to me and said “where is my Forged!” I gave him mine. It was the first time that had happened at a fight.

“It’s seriously tasty and incredibly refreshing you won’t get better! I don’t blame him one bit I am sure he enjoyed it thoroughly after the fight. So much so he ordered multiple keg loads of it to his local pub!

“Top man, top fighter, top Stout, Forged Irish Stout! Our partnership with Matchroom Boxing has been so good and with their fighters also!

“This is the fighters stout, Forged Irish Stout! For the working man and woman!

“What a year it has been for Forged I am very proud and grateful and extremely driven being at the helm of this quality product. It’s quality, point blank. BEST ON THE MARKET BY FAR!

“We have some mega announcements coming soon for you all, stay tuned! FORGED ARMY!”
