Watch: Boxers in 'Dumb and Dumber' stick fight at press event

Best mates Tyrone McKenna and Tyrone McCullagh are known for not taking things too seriously.

And they proved it on Wednesday.

Belfast's McKenna and Derry's McCullagh are preparing for their latest tests in the Golden Contract this weekend.

McKenna faces Mohamed Mimoune in the super-lightweight semi-finals while McCullagh takes on Ryan Walsh in the last-four of the featherweights.

The press conference for this weekend's show was held on Wednesday.

And the two Tyrones made a comical entrance by indulging in a stick fight dressed up as Dumb and Dumber characters Lloyd and Harry.

A big night of action takes place at a sold out York Hall on Friday, live on Sky Sports.

Speaking on his fight, McCullagh said: "I respect Ryan Walsh as a fighter. He’s achieved great things in his career so far, but I believe all of the pressure is on him.

“He is the tournament favourite and picked me. He’s had more than double my fights, so I’ve got nothing to lose.”

McKenna added on his clash with Mimoune: "Mimoune is a great guy and I like him as a person, but Ireland doesn’t forget.

“Thierry Henry robbed us of the World Cup, he cheated us, and I’m here for revenge. Ireland is getting revenge on Friday and I’m getting that beautiful WBC Silver title.”
