There are moments off the field or outside the ring which can change a sports performer's life for the better even though it’s not directly anything to do with the match or fight itself.
For Joshua Buatsi, the moment he meant former boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather could be exactly that.
Buatsi impressed the boxing world when he took home a bronze medal from the Rio Olympic Games last month after a strong run in Brazil.
Mayweather dropped into South America at the time and watched a lot of the action, before meeting Buatsi after the British fighter progressed through to the semi-finals.
The man widely known as the pound for pound king praised Buatsi during their meeting and tipped him to become a world champion down the line.
