Niall Horan is pretty darn excited about his night out.

The One Direction star has tickets to watch fellow Mullingar man John Joe Nevin fight in his Olympic boxing match this evening and has been tweeting about his plans for the event all day.

The 1D hunk first watched John fight last week, after landing some last minute tickets and running for over a mile to make it to the Excel centre on time. He was a little more organised this time round and tweeted his followers earlier this afternoon, writing:

excel doesnt know whats hittin it ! we’re gona be doin the mulllingar shuffle all night

Horan is taking his pal Niall Breslin along for the ride and later added:

‘Wait till ya see the shuffle in full swing tonight! Isn that right @nbrez #mullingarshuffle’

He later shared this picture of himself holding an Irish flag with the caption:

‘Meself and @nbrez are gettin dressed behind the tri colour! Ready for the fight @johnJoeNevin #mullingarshuffle’

Niall had better make the most of his time spent with friends as this time next week he will be back in America, working hard on One Direction’s second album and a whole heap of promotional interviews and performances.

isn’t he just the cutest when he’s excited though? Leave your comments below….
