GLOVE PUPPETS

World champs like Dubois being roped into Paul's circus

- 

SOME of the biggest names in the sport couldn't help themselves last weekend.

They saw the numbers roll in. The 108m viewers on Netflix, the £15m live gate at the AT&T Stadium and they fancied a bit of it.

Now retired fighters like Carl Froch (inset, top) and Tony Bellew (inset, bottom) are almost understandably piping up to keep themselves relevant.

But it is nothing but sad to see the likes of undisputed cruiserweight king Artur Beterbiev and IBF heavyweight title holder Daniel Dubois trying to put their names in the mix to fight Jake Paul.
