    Is Mathew Macklin Irish or English?.

    Macklin has Irish parents but he was brought up in England and he wears to those Irish shorts when he boxes. So do his shorts and his bloodline give him more of a nationality more than him being born in England and having an english accent? In other words, if he is english, why is he boxing for Ireland?

          He seems to consider himself as Irish, so that's what he is even though he was born in England.

          A bit similar to Calzaghe who was also born in England..
