Paddy Barnes says he’ll wear a thong during his fight tonight – if he gets enough retweets

Stop what you're doing, log into Twitter, give Paddy a retweet and watch the (ahem) sexiness unfold.

The 27-year-old is just one fight away from securing a Commonwealth Games medal in Glasgow tonight and, if he gets just 5 million retweets, well... God help us all.

If I get 5 million retweets I'll wear a thong in my fight tonight! #Glasgow2014 — Paddy Barnes (@paddyb_ireland) July 30, 2014

Luckily, or perhaps unluckily depending on how much you really want to see the Belfast fighter's smalls, Paddy's only at 1,012 retweets at time of writing so it looks like we're safe enough.
