Memphis Depay may be used to defenders towering above him but this was an encounter with a giant of an altogether different species.
The Manchester United forward posed for pictures with IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua as the pugilist worked out in front of fans at the MEN Arena.
Depay and Joshua posed for photographs in the customary clenched fist pose.
The man who will feel the full force of that Joshua hand is Eric Molina, his opponent this Saturday as the British boxer looks to make light work of another foe.
