Oasis legend Noel Gallagher hit the town after Amir Khan and Kell Brook fight in Manchester

Noel Gallagher was back in his home city to watch the Amir Khan and Kell Brook fight at Manchester's AO Arena.

The Oasis legend was in the crowd for one of the biggest sporting events of the year so far in the UK, along with other famous faces including Sky pundits Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards and Manchester City footballer Jack Grealish.

Fans saw Kell, from Sheffield, sensationally beat Amir, from Bolton, in the sixth round with the referee stopping the contest to settle one of the longest-running feuds in British boxing between the former teen sparring partners, who are now both 35.

And we hear the Manchester music icon, who was songwriter, co-lead vocalist and guitarist with rock band Oasis until 2009, caused quite a stir as he enjoyed drinks with friends.

A source told us: "He came after the boxing and he certainly did attract a lot of attention.

"Everyone loved seeing him and taking pictures too."

The 54-year-old High Flying Birds frontman posed for photos with the Yours team including owner Mo Mohamud.

Also visiting Yours on Saturday night (February 19) was Olympic gold medal-winning sprinter and avid Manchester United supporter Usain Bolt.
