This picture perfectly captures the heart and soul of Belfast's Féile an Phobail, Ireland's biggest community arts festival.

Turf Lodge fighter Sean McComb is surrounded by fans, the former Holy Trinity star amateur being followed by young boxers. footballers, friends and neighbours, from his home in the Turf Lodge estate at the weekend down to the Féile's showpiece event, a sell-out fight night promotion at the Falls Park in west Belfast.

As FeileBelfast tweeted with the picture: ''giving our best local talent a chance to shine in their own backyard'' ... and shine brightly he did.

A WBO European or Celtic title shot could now be on the cards for super-lightweight McComb after boxing-lesson points defeat of Marseilles hardman Renald Garrido.
