Mayweather told Sky Sports: “It’s always good to see some great boxing.
“The UK is a great place, great fighters, I’m proud of Anthony Joshua but it’s lights camera, actions.
“He’s one of the best heavyweights, got a gold medal before, his careers going great, two-time word heavyweight champion, he’s helluva’ fighter.
“Anything can happen in this world of boxing. One shot can end your career.
“He’s a great fighter, hell of a guy, gentleman and I respect his craft.”
The surprise appearance comes as Mayweather recently announced a ‘special exhibition fight’ with YouTuber Logan Paul.
Social media star Paul, who lost his pro debut to internet rival KSI by split-decision last year, will face the 43-year-old in February.
Mayweather retired as a pro in 2017, beating ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor in ten rounds.
But he did come out of retirement a year later in Japan to beat featherweight kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in one round.
Mayweather confirmed he will return to Tokyo next year, but first fights Paul – who will come into the farcical mismatch with a FOUR STONE advantage.
