Carl Frampton joked "I'm on the scrapheap" after revealing he pulled his hamstring during a fun race at his son's school sports day.
He may be a former two-weight world boxing champion, but it appears old age is creeping up on the 36-year-old.
Frampton is working with BT Sport at Michael Conlan's world title showdown with Luis Alberto Lopez at the SSE Arena.

He was at Friday's weigh-in at Europa Hotel when the on-air conversation switched to whether the North Belfast ex-fighter was considering a comeback.
Frampton said: "The comeback is cancelled for a reason. I did the dad race at my little boy's sports day and pulled my hamstring. So you can't come back if you pull your hamstring like that.
"I might have won the race. It was close between me and another guy.
"I'm finished. I can't talk about it anymore."
Frampton added: "I've told the world about this now and I feel like...I don't know. I am just disappointed.
"When you realise you have nothing left. I can't even do a sports day fun race without pulling my hamstring.
"I'm done. I'm on the scrapheap, and it's a terrible feeling."
Looking ahead to Saturday night's fight, Frampton said: "I can't wait for this fight. Michael has had big nights before, such as the Feile, but this feels different.
"Hopefully he can do the business and keep these big nights coming to Belfast."
