Dele Alli has turned fight promoter after seeing a video of Tottenham Hotspur teammate Harry Kane in the gym.
The Spurs striker posted a snippet of himself on the pads at training which attracted the attention of British boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, who likened the 22-year-old to Sugar Ray Leonard.
Check out Kane's video below:

And Hearn's response:
As far as footballers on the pads goes..you are Sugar Ray Leonard! https://t.co/xDfbz1aaBy

Star midfielder Alli then decided to throw Kane under the bus by suggesting he take on recently beaten UFC champ Conor McGregor while placing another Spurs ace, Eric Dier, up against British heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua.
Harry to fight Mcgregor.. @ericdier to fight Joshua! Let's make this happen https://t.co/IfyFXIjUi3
