MO FARAH verses Wladimir Klitschko would be a mismatch in any sport.
But the two sporting greats went head-to-head… at a game of table football.
The four-time Olympic gold medallist and the two-time heavyweight boxing champion crossed paths at the Global Education and Skills Forum held in Dubai.
And away from all the meeting and greeting, the pair appeared to be enjoying each other’s company in their downtime.
Farah, 34, took to Instagram to show little verses large in action over a game of table football.
And while Klitschko appeared to adopt a more gentle technique, Farah took the rules into his own hands by controversially spinning his players in order to score.
Two guys, a girl and a conversation! When you are in the company of two world class athletes, you’re guaranteed to walk away feeling like you can do and achieve anything. From comparing fist sizes to the crucial need for quality education around the world…we covered it all at the @gesforum. Awesome to meet you both. #GESFBut it was the Ukrainian powerhouse who seemed to be winning with Farah forced to pick the ball out of his goal.
The pair were also joined in the evening by ex-Miss World Priyanka Chopra and comedian Rory Bremner.

Farah tweeted a picture of the quartet alongside the caption: “Had a good morning talking with Rory Bremner at the @gesforum with @priyankachopra and @klitschko.”
And Klitschko would add: “Have asked these extremely successful athletes @nataliecoughlin and @gomofarah – What’s the core of your long term success? And they shared the same answer – FOCUS!”
