QUARREL AND HARDY

LONE'ER KAVANAGH has enjoyed a “tricky” time with Venom — and so the experienced, but ultimately superpower-less, Charles Johnson should not be a problem for the rising UFC star.

Londoner Kavanagh will step into the octagon for the third time tomorrow morning when he takes on fellow flyweight Johnson in Shanghai.

The undefeated 26-year-old, who has been studying martial arts since he was 10, has quickly made a name for himself among MMA‘s elite, but he also has a Hollywood great in his corner.
