Boxing legend Ricky Hatton spotted at Conor McGregor's Dublin pub

Boxing legend Ricky Hatton popped into Conor McGregor's Dublin pub as he smiled for a photo.

Hatton recently returned to the ring for an exhibition fight and it was his first in ring bout in 10 years.

And the Manchester boxer impressed in front of a packed out crowd as he took on Marco Antonio Barrera.

And a week after, Hatton popped into McGregor's Dublin pub the Black Forge Inn.

The pub shared a photo of a happy Hatton and said: "Welcome to The Black Forge Inn @rickyhitmanhatton"

And followers were delighted to see the boxer stop by.

One user said: "Brilliant love it"

While another said: "Welcome to the best pub"
