    Maybe he is travelling to Ireland to find some of that Leprachaun gold.

    Lord knows he needs it to pay his 3 managers :lol:

    Well, you are correct, although Catholics would say 'capital of the six counties' because they believe all of Ireland should be one country, not two. Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom (which is also referred to as Great Britain and Northern Ireland [six counties] ) but the ROI is not, but oddly all of Ireland is part of the British Isles, by geographical definition. Soon the ROI will be in the European Union but Northern Ireland (the six counties) will not.

    Try explaining that to Wilder....

    True, but would be the other way around, Wilder/Haymon/Showtime putting the money up for Fury.

    Parker, whyte, Joshua, chisora and Ortiz will all be at the airport with crack money chicken feed contracts that pay him more money than he's ever seen in his life.

    He ain't getting on no plane.

    no its not. Northern Ireland is a country (part of the UK) and Belfast is the capital. Republic of Ireland is a different country (not part of the UK) and Dublin is the capital. The TWO countries are next door to each other!!

    Try explaining that to anyone.

    Just to liven up the discussion, are there two different countries at the Olympics with “Ireland” in their names? Do they actually send a team from Northern Ireland and another from the Republic of Ireland?

    Yes, they are officially different countries, with their own currencies and laws.

    I'm curious if Wilder & Fury will face off in the ring after the fight.
