Harry Kane shows blistering hand speed during boxing session as Dele Alli touts Tottenham striker for Conor McGregor bout

Harry Kane is used to landing knockout blows with his deadly finishing but the Tottenham striker is fairly handy with a pair of gloves on too.

The 22-year-old struck twice to sink Aston Villa on Sunday and two days later the England forward showed off his impressive speed during a boxing session.

So impressed was team-mate Dele Alli that the Spurs midfielder is even touting Kane to go some rounds with UFC star with Conor McGregor.

In a video uploaded to Kane's official Twitter and Instagram accounts the 19-Premier League striker demonstrated his blistering hand speed as he took part in extra training.

Alli, who is developing a reputation as a bit of a joker around the Tottenham training ground, picked up on the video and suggested setting up a bout between Kane and featherweight champion McGregor.

The 19-year-old former MK Dons midfielder clearly fancies himself as a fight promoter after recently suggesting Eric Dier should take on unbeaten British boxer Anthony Joshua.

Alli retweeted Kane's original post and wrote: 'Harry to fight McGregor... Eric Dier to fight Joshua! Let's make this happen.'

Kane's double against Aston Villa at Villa Park at the weekend was his 18th and 19th top flight goals this season as he moved level with Jamie Vardy in the race for the Golden Boot.

Alli, who has impressed during his first season in the Premier League, set Kane up for both goals as Mauricio Pochettino got their title challege back on track after disappointing results against West Ham and Arsenal to lose ground on the Foxes.
