VIDEO: Team Ireland’s Rob Heffernan takes on Iron Mike in bizarre iron-walk challenge

JOE

Iron will meets Steely determination.

Chances are you’ve heard talk of a man known as Iron Mike around Ireland in the last few weeks.

He opened a business on Camden Street in Dublin and earlier this week he was looking sharp and dropping some ill beatboxes with the folks down at EJ Menswear in Sligo.

Though he’s an impressively-built man, the ‘iron’ in his name is all about his ridiculously impressive ironing skills, which he displayed in impressive fashion in a rather bizarre challenge with Team Ireland athlete Rob Heffernan in Santry Stadium.

TV3’s Deric Ó h’Artagáin was on hand to act as referee to ensure it was all above ‘board’.

Behold the 400 metre-one walking-one basket of ironing-challenge.
