Since the Olympics Barnes has been looking for sponsorship in clever and ingenious ways and when Richard Branson asked his question to day on the back of ‘Virgin Media’s Our digital future initiative’, the Belfast-based boxer seized his opportunity in this response:

No word yet back from Richard, but we can’t think of any more entertaining boxer to sponsor!
