The world champion was greeted by KSI as he watched the fights from his VIP seat.
Of course, these two will have met before.
Don’t forget, Littler appeared in an ad for Sidemen’s cereal, Best.
Bridge and KSI pulled apart
Wayne Bridge had to be pulled apart from KSI after he received a brutal John Terry jibe.
The former Chelsea and Manchester City defender was attending Misfits 20 when the YouTuber-turned-boxer hit out at him.
Misfits co-founder KSI, 31, was in the ring when he called out Bridge.
The retired footballer made his way into the ring to confront his rival.
But before Bridge could say anything KSI made a brutal jibe at Bridge's previous relationship with Vanessa Perroncel.
While Chelsea team-mates Bridge and Terry famously fell out over allegations that Terry had an affair with Bridge's then partner, Vanessa, in 2009, which she has denied.
