McGuigan talks about the politics of flags

Barry McGuigan talks about the politics of flags in Ireland - and the USA.

He recalls his time in the ring as an Irishman, fighting for the British title, and the controversy across the Atlantic over the use of the Confederate flag, which he said should be banned.

The boxer spoke to Andrew Neil, Alan Johnson and Michael Portillo on This Week, where he said there was still sectarianism and why he does not allow anthems in boxing.
