The song selection, shared on Spotify, features big hits and deeper cuts by everyone from Drake (“Free Smoke”) to Rihanna (“Needed Me”) to 2 Chainz. (And because this is the famously fit fighter’s own workout beats, you know this is a good one to queue up next time you make it to the treadmill for that uphill climb.) Titled “Hard Work & Dedication,” the 35-song playlist is decidedly rap-forward with some R&B vibes thrown in for good measure. Slow and steady beats, it seems, are Mayweather’s training jam. Take note. Mayweather, the widely acclaimed boxing champion, will face off against the UFC lightweight champion and popular Irishman [Conor McGregor ](https://www.gq.com/story/conor-mcgregor-gq-style-cover-story)on Saturday, Aug. 26 in Las Vegas’s T-Mobile Arena.
