Following Charles Saatchi’s challenge of a cage fight to Spectator columnist Taki last week, experts have some advice for the septuagenarians.
MMA fighter Alex Reid, whose Las Vegas marriage to model Katie Price lasted barely three rounds, says one shouldn’t take the challenge of a cage fight lightly. “As professionals we train at least five days a week solidly,” he says. “We have to be very fit, manage our weight and health, and master positivity and an indomitable will.” Phwoar. Meanwhile, Dave O’Donnell, promoter at Ultimate Challenge Mixed Martial Arts, has spotted a business opportunity. “Let’s just say Saatchi and this geezer agree to a fight: as long as the journalist hasn’t got secret skills, it could be a really good fight.”
