Current world number one snooker player Ronnie O'Sullivan has challenged his tennis equivalent Novak Djokovic to a sporting contest, claiming that he would like to test himself against the world number one tennis star. This comes after the six time world champion was also invited for a sparring session with Liverpool UFC star Paddy Pimblett.
O'Sullivan recently reclaimed the world number one spot from Mark Selby and heads into the coming World Championship as one of the favourites, but this hasn't stopped the Londoner having a look at other sports. At the recent UFC event in London he struck up an unlikely friendship with 'The Baddy', which ultimately led to a sparring invite.
Speaking about Pimblett, he said: "I am definitely going to try and do some sparring with him, when I next go to Liverpool he has told me I have got to get in the cage. I went to Paddy’s last fight in London at the O2 with Damien Hirst, because he is a huge fan of UFC and knows the big bosses. We were sitting front row watching Paddy and Molly McCann too, and it was a great night.
