Donation website GoFundMe has confirmed MMA star Conor McGregor has donated €10,000 to a young Irish boy in need of urgent hospital care.
Grainne McCullough, the mother of the ill child shared a screenshot of the generous donation last night, thanking McGregor for his contribution.
Five-year-old Bryan 'Bru' had sepsis last year and is now unable to walk or eat, Grainne says.

"This is my last idea for my son as I've spent the last year trying to get him proper medical care, he has a plastic tube [Nasogastric intubation] in his nose since last September," the donation page reads.
"He has seen no dietitian, we are desperate at this stage, we are looking for money for my son Bryan to get private care and the help he deserves....he had sepsis last year and is now unable to walk or eat."
At first the €10,000 donation was anonymous, however Grainne then received an email saying that the donation was made in the MMA champion's name.
A spokesperson for GoFundMe confirmed to Independent.ie that the donation was genuine.
Taking to Twitter, Grainne thanked the "legend" for the money.
"We are forever grateful, I will never forget what you have done for my boy, you truly are a legend," she said.
