WATCH | LIVE: Boxer Ray Moylette does 1,000 pushups for HSE front line staff

Mayo boxer Ray Moylette is LIVE on our social channels this morning as he attempts an incredible 1000 push-ups in one hour.

Ray is raising funds for Pieta House and also for frontline HSE services battling the coronavirus pandemic, and is hoping to reach his target of €10,000.

Ray has already performed the push-ups achievement, according to his Twitter page, and told us on OTB AM recently people thought it was a joke since he posted it on April Fools' Day.

"If you do look back over my social media accounts there might be one serious post to five jokes or whatever. I can't believe how many people haven't questioned me on it, and I did do it, if you believe me or not!

"I don't think I got the respect when I launched it first - I think it took people to try it and do it and then say 'wow, that was a challenge'."

Ray was also asked about Nathan Murphy's choice of four athletes for his Mayo Mount Rushmore - when he picked Cora Staunton, Liam McHale, Kevin Kilbane and Ciarán McDonald.

"Mayo is a great county of athletes, we have all sports here at the top level - and he picks four gaelic footballers and a soccer player!

"Cora [Staunton] and Liam McHale definitely to stay on. Ciarán McDonald is probably the biggest icon in Mayo GAA history... Kevin Kilbane is a very good friend of mine.

"He was a professional and doing it for a job... now, I'm not going to take him out because I don't want to be controversial. He's definitely deserving of it, but to my detriment, I'm not finished yet. Maybe when it's done I might be able to replace some of them!

"At the minute I'm going to leave it as it is, but I'm going to put a question mark on Kevin Kilbane, I'm coming for his spot but he's safe for now..."
