Watch : On Song! Irish fighters take Cheer Up Challenge.

Irish boxers have been trying to hit the high notes rather than sparring partners in recent days.

Out of the gym due to the current pandemic the fighters have been training their voices.

After being nominated for the Cheer Up Challenge by former foe Josh Warrington, Carl Frampton started a chain of events that saw some of Belfast’s biggest fight names show their vocal skills.

Frampton, who turned down a slot on celebrity X Factor, set the bar high with a bit of Van Morrison.

Thanks @J_Warrington for the #CheerUpChallenge.

I nominate @paddyb_ireland, @ChrisLloydTV & @garysnowpatrol.

Soon to be European title challenger Tommy McCarthy, whose family are big on the London music scene, followed suit with some classic Stevie Wonder.
