OLIVER HOLT: Back off fun police, Tommy Fury versus Jake Paul is the LEAST of boxing's problems… PLUS, Manchester United had become a vehicle for egos but they are now a serious club again

I did not watch the Jake Paul-Tommy Fury fight on Sunday night. I was still on a train home from Wembley with some Manchester United fans who had grown tired and emotional in varying degrees as the journey progressed.

It appeared that they might have had a few drinks during the course of the evening but I suspect, on reflection, that they had been adversely affected by a highly-elevated consumption of eggs.

That's right. Boxing tells us that the British fighter Conor Benn failed a couple of drugs tests last year because, essentially, he'd had a few too many omelettes.
