McGregor v Mayweather

Sir, – Conor McGregor has inspired me. I’m challenging Usain Bolt to race me in a 100-yard sprint – over which distance I won medals at under-10, under-11 and under-12 level back in the late 1950s. Once I show up at Usain’s door and call him some names, the papers and TV will let everybody know. Sky will attract a promoter, and millions of gullible people will pay me big money. When Conor McGregor and I are are counting all the money, we also have the delicious excitement of knowing that it isn’t us who are the fools.– Yours, etc,

Sir, – Conor McGregor’s recently unveiled wax figure looks nothing like the supremely self-confident mixed martial arts star.

However, by the time Floyd Mayweather has finished with him, I think a suitably chastened McGregor will bear an uncanny resemblance to his gaunt and dejected-looking wax image. – Yours, etc,
