Queens Park Rangers skipper Joey Barton names his first child Cassius after boxing legend Muhammad Ali.

Queens Park Rangers captain Joey Barton has named his child after boxing legend Muhammad Ali.

The 29-year-old became a father for the first time yesterday night, shortly after QPR claimed a 1-1 draw at Swansea City.

"He's here Cassius Joseph Barton. 7 pound 3 oz. Mother and baby are fine. Wow what a blessing that is," Barton wrote on Twitter.

Ali's original name when he broke through in boxing was Cassius Clay.
