ITV’s ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here’ returns to our screens on Sunday, November 17.
Over the years, there have been many former boxers who have appeared on the show.
Just last year, fan-favourite Tony Bellew finished second on the show.
Furthermore, the likes of Amir Khan, Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn have also had their time on the hit reality tv show.
Now this year, according to The Sun, it is the turn of boxing hall of famer, former WBA and lineal featherweight champion, Irish legend, Barry McGuigan.
Barry, the father of trainer Shane McGuigan, was loved by both Ireland and Northern Ireland and was seen as a beacon of peace during those troubling times.
He had a monumental career, winning 32 fights (28 by KO) and only losing just the 3 times.
It was in 1985 when he cemented himself in Irish history, when he beat Eusebio Pedroza to win the WBA world featherweight title.
Known as ‘The Clones Cyclone’, the Irishman has since took up managing fighters, doing punditry for Sky TV and setting up the Professional Boxing Association – to which he is the Chairman for.
His son Shane, who himself was involved in the Frampton case, is a successful boxing trainer.
Alongside Frampton, Shane has trained some of the most recognisable name in British boxing.
This list includes David Haye, George Groves, current IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois and Josh Taylor.
The Irish legend looks set to join Coleen Rooney, Maura Higgins, Oti Mabuse, Danny Jones, and many more celebrities.
Fans will be excited to see whether Barry can replicate the bravery he showed in his career, in the jungle where he will be tasked with the infamous ‘Bushtucker Trials’.
Son Shane, will be looking ahead to November 16th when Chris Billiam-Smith returns to defend his WBO cruiserweight title against Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez on the next instalment of ‘Riyadh Season’.
