Tyson Fury wore a suit with images of himself plastered all over it at Ricky Hatton's funeral on Friday.
The funeral of Hatton is being held at Manchester Cathedral as thousands have lined the city's streets to say goodbye during a procession.
The boxing community has come out in their drove, with Conor Benn, Amir Khan and Tony Bellew, among others, paying their respects to the former world champion boxer.
Not to mention Fury, who paid tribute to Hatton with a touching social media post ahead of today's funeral.

He shared two images of the pair through the years, accompanied with the caption: "Today is the day of Ricky Hatton's funeral and I'm not going to be alone here when I say this, but Ricky inspired me as a young boy to go on and do great things in boxing.
"I wanted to be just like him: the ring walks, the flashy shorts, the fans, the chanting."
He added: "When I was a little kid, he was fighting for his world title in Manchester and I was there along with a lot of kids to watch a fight by Ricky.
"So without Ricky Hatton, Manchester wouldn't have had, the north-west wouldn't have had, the UK wouldn't have had so many boxing world champions inspired by the great Hitman Hatton.
"Rest in peace Rick, see you soon buddy."
Fury, who hasn't fought since his defeat to Oleksandr Usyk last December, was among the first to pay tribute to Hatton after he died last month.
He wrote: "Rip to the legend Ricky Hatton may he RIP. There will only ever be one Ricky Hatton. Can't believe this so young."
Fury, who spoke with actor Tamer Hassan and Bellew, arrived at Manchester Cathedral wearing a suit with images of himself on it.
His eye-catching suit and trousers featured artwork of the self-proclaimed 'Gypsy King' sitting on a throne wearing a crown and marrying his wife Paris.
His suit also featured plenty of religious iconography, with most of the images appearing to present him in front of stained glass windows.
Boxing fans were quick to call him out, with one saying: "Leave it to Tyson to make it all about him with that suit. Attention w***e."
A second added: "Not sure wearing a jacket with your face all over it is best funeral attire."
Earlier today, the funereal cortege set off at from Gee Cross, where Hatton lived, on its two-hour journey to the city centre.
The procession stopped at several pubs, including Hatton's local, the Cheshire Cheese, the the Harehill Tavern and the New Inn.
Other calling places included Hatton's gym and the AO Arena, formerly MEN Arena, where he had many of his legendary fights, including his victory over Kostya Tszyu in 2005.
