England versus Ireland.
That would surely sell well for the UFC, so we don’t see any problem in Dele Ali’s suggestion that Conor McGregor’s next opponent should be a professional footballer.

Harry Kane was earlier spotted online doing some boxing work to keep him sharp as Spurs prepare for the visit of Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League this week.
The England striker received plenty of compliments on his punching ability.

Alli spotted a chance to become the Premier League answer to Dana White with his mischievous tweet to suggest a fight with the 27-year-old featherweight champion.

There might be a bit of a weight difference we think, but it would be some contest.
