Shane Ross caused quite a stir at Katie Taylor’s homecoming this afternoon at Dublin Airport.
After being crowned the world’s undisputed lightweight champion, the Bray native arrived home to a hero’s welcome, and was greeted by the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport.
However, a lot of people weren’t very happy with how Shane acted, and many have accused him of trying to steal Katie’s thunder as he posed alongside her in numerous photos, and during interviews.
See how people are reacting to Shane’s “cringe” behaviour below:
Amazing how a short clip in an airport can reflect such massive pride, love and respect for one’s country AND such embarrassment at the same time.
Not enough emojis to convey the holy morifiying cringe of Shane Ross.

Fairplay to the lady at the front; sticks on the afterburners to avoid Katie’s limelight unlike Shane Ross who decides to awkwardly lurk in the background of all of her photo opportunities. Peak Ross. pic.twitter.com/xXsiAV8QIv
