He shared snaps of "Conor's ring" - the boxing ring that Conor McGregor trained in ahead of his epic showdown with Floyd Mayweather.

Becks then met up with UFC man Francis Ngannou.

The Cameroonian-born fighter, known as "The Predator",  is preparing to take on Alistair Overeem at UFC 218 in December.

A room of punchbags, a UFC cage and a picture of himself outside the main building standing by the logo with the hash-tag "thank-you" were all posted onto Beckham's Instagram story.

Goldenballs, 42, drew a £12.7million salary from his image rights company last year – £35,000 a day.

His mega pay packet ranks the former Manchester United and England ace alongside the current top Premier League earners.

Becks’ business is described as “the exploitation of David Beckham’s name and image rights”.

He has lucrative deals with firms including Haig Club whiskyH&M and Adidas, making him one of the world’s highest-earning retired athletes.

Becks has taken dividends totalling £45million over the past five years.

His estimated personal fortune is around £165million.
