World heavyweight champion Tyson Fury provided some gee-up material for the Antrim footballers ahead of their Division 4 clash with Wicklow earlier today, and it might just have worked.
The Saffrons made it six from six with a 2-13 to 1-12 victory over the Garden county, with goals from Tomás McCann and Brian Neeson officially securing promotion regardless of next weekend's fixtures.
It was exactly what avid Antrim GAA fan Tyson Fury asked of Frank Fitzsimmons’ outfit when he sent them a rather sincere motivational message.

The missing links in this scenario, of course, are former WBA super-middleweight champion Brian Magee, who is currently Antrim's strength and conditioning coach, and Fury's mother, who hails from Belfast.
Antrim GAA's official Twitter account were quick to send their regards to their new sports psychologist.
Thanks for the message @Tyson_Fury We did it 💛👌👍 👊👊 #AllianzLeagues https://t.co/wkAsUefOsu @Brian_Magee @HennessySports
