Can little Brooklyn sort out his dad's problems?

One can imagine the banners for the fight looking more like a movie title than a boxing match as "Ali v Frazier - The Next Generation" is plastered across billboards.

Of course, an even better draw for the crowd would be if they made it into a tag-team wrestling event where the father and daughter could pair-up.

Another idea is to get brothers, cousins, mothers and uncles involved, all taking part in a boxing league table between the two families.

There is also the question of whether this might catch on in other sporting feuds.

It is only a matter of time before one of Sebastian Coe's four children settles the running legend's current war of words with Linford Christie on the track.

Maybe in a few years time, little Brooklyn Beckham will seek retribution on the pitch against Diego Simeone's offspring for his father's emotional red card during France 98.

It seems fans will now have the chance to relive the sporting battles of yesteryear through the children of tomorrow.

The action might turn out not to be of the highest quality - but the idea seems certain to be a TV ratings winner.

The bids for the broadcasting rights are probably being prepared already.
