It was the day Iron Mike Tyson dropped from the sky and landed in Gurteen to show young fighters how to face the world.
And he did it in an ‘iron bird’ which flew down from Dublin city.
It is doubtful if the south Sligo village will ever see anything quite like it again.
It certainly isn’t often a world champion swoops down from above complete with minders and all the trappings of former greatness.
And there will surely never be three helicopters touching down on the same day in a town more famous for Irish traditional music than entertaining fighting machines.
The ‘big birds’ landed in the forecourt of Kane’s Hill Hotel between 12 noon and 2.15pm.
Well-known chauffeur Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch stepped off the second helicopter and walked into the hotel shortly before his own famous Humvee stretch limo arrived.
But it was the third helicopter the crowd of 100 wanted to see.
Shortly after 2.15pm, the former heavyweight champion touched down and walked slowly across the tarmac surrounded by a few minders.
He was dressed in a white shirt, dark jacket and blue jeans and looked relaxed.
A spontaneous round of applause broke out and he was quickly surrounded by children from St Joseph’s Boxing Club and Gurteen Boxing Club.
Cameras clicked and flesh was pressed as some huge men with massive rings hugged and greeted like long lost brothers.
