James McClean is loved by Ireland football supporters far and wide for his never-say-die fighting spirit on the field of play. Judging by his latest Instagram, he’s in the shape to be fighting in a boxing ring, too.
Irish fans see something in McClean that not many other players have. The Derry man would die for the cause. He throws himself about in that Ireland number 11 jersey like it’s the most important thing in the whole world to him to represent his country.
His full-blooded challenge against Austria in last weekend’s crucial World Cup qualifier was a taster of this commitment. It brought back memories of a tough tackling Roy Keane in his prime.

McClean is on his holidays in the Algarve in Portugal, enjoying some well-deserved relaxation time after the hard hitting qualifier clash with the Austrians.
The Derry man hasn’t let himself go like many do on a holiday, no, the 28-year-old is in the shape of his life.
With a physique like that, and with the fighting spirit that we know McClean has, you could imagine him stepping up at a Boxing weigh in.

Maybe the achievements of Paddy Barnes and Michael Conlan in the boxing ring are tempting him, because that’s no six-pack, that’s a full on eight-pack.
