James McClean joins Floyd Mayweather Sr for a boxing session in Las Vegas

Ireland football star James McClean was put through his paces with legendary boxing trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr.

The winger is holidaying in Las Vegas with his wife Erin and took the opportunity to visit Mayweather Boxing Club.

McClean, 30, said: "What an experience and privilege today it was being put through a session with the legend Floyd Sr at the Mayweather Boxing club."

Mayweather Sr, a former pro boxer, trained his son undefeated boxer Floyd for many of his fights, including his win over Conor McGregor in 2017.

Floyd Sr, 66, looked lean and mean as he posed alongside McClean in the Vegas gym.

Stoke City player McClean is on his summer break after helping Ireland to go top of their Euro 2020 qualifying group.

The Boys in Green fought hard for a 1-1 draw with Denmark in Copenhagen before beating minnows Gibraltar 2-0 in Dublin on Monday.
