Tyson Fury was seen singing loud and proud about his Galway roots in the pubs of Manchester recently.
The heavyweight champion's grandfather hails from Tuam, and its clear that he hasn't forgotten where he comes from as he belts out a rendition of The Galway Shawl.
A clip shared online shows Fury and his friends sharing some pints, reports Galway Beo.
Sitting outside of a pub in the north of England, he sings the lines made famous by The Dubliners. He sings, "I spied a damsel, she was fair and handsome, Her beauty nearly took my breath away..."
He continues to sing the lyrics while his friends shout on words of encouragement, before ultimately letting his mates continue on without him.
Fury also used to hold the Irish professional heavyweight title, and represented the country as an amateur on three occasions.
Fury's family come from a traveller background - something he is hugely proud of.
He previously said: "I'm proud of what I am. I'll tell you what makes a traveller: you're born one like you're born black. To me it is irrelevant whether I live in a house, a caravan or a tent.
"I like the feel of being a gypsy. The traveller background gives you that ultimate fighting steel, the determination and will to win, to dig deep. There's no loser in me.
"As a traveller you never regret anything. You do what you have to do and move on. No ifs, buts or whys."
And after beating Wladimir Klitschko to become world champion in 2015, a delighted Fury beamed: "I’m the first Irish heavyweight champion of the world, me Tyson Fury."
He once told Irish Central.com: “All my people are from Ireland. I was born in Manchester but I am Irish. I have lived in Ireland, visited all my life and when I fight I represent Ireland."
