Irish Olympic medallist boxers Michael Conlon and Paddy Barnes have entered the world of homemade challenge videos, with a tongue in cheek challenge to the Joyce family – a family who have earned notoriety for their bare knuckle boxing exploits and their use of youtube videos to call out rival fighters.

It seems the joke might have been lost, or not appreciated at least, by the Joyce family, who have sent their response.

Are the Joyces in on the joke? Opinion is divided in the Newstalk Offices, so we await the next installment of this budding rivalry with eager anticipation.
