David v Goliath? Paddy Barnes is up to his old tricks on Twitter again

During Rio 2016, Paddy Barnes became an online sensation thanks to his exploits on Twitter where his unique combination of hard-hitting commentary and humour caught the eye.

Thankfully Belfast's pride shows no signs of changing now the curtain has come down in Rio.

Here he is squaring up to IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
