The former heavyweight boxing champion was seen on the Manannan ferry, posing for a picture with young fans.
The boxing star has visited the island in the past for a promotional tour, and was last year reported to have been considering a move here.
He's usually based in Morecambe, a short distance from the Steam Packet's terminal in Heysham.
The ferry company posted the picture this week, showing the boxer taking a selfie with the young footballers who were traveling off-island for a tournament.
