Wayne Rooney, one of the greatest scorers in the history of British football, may soon enter the boxing ring.
In early January, Wayne Rooney was sacked as head coach of Birmingham City. He is currently considering the possibility of entering the boxing ring.
According to the British media, 38-year-old Rooney is in talks with the Misfits company. This agency organises fights for various celebrities. One of the company's founders is the famous blogger KSI.
It is clear that only big numbers in the contract can entice Rooney to take part in the match. Negotiations are currently at an early stage. Interestingly, the fight is scheduled to take place in May. Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are going to fight this month.
It is worth noting that Wayne Rooney has been an ardent boxing fan since childhood. He was even a member of an amateur club in his native Liverpool. The legendary striker does not miss a single fight with Tyson Fury, whom he sympathises with. Rooney shares photos on his social media with boxing stars, including Mike Tyson and Anthony Kroll.
By the way. The fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will take place on 18 May in Riyadh. The fight for the absolute championship was postponed due to the eye injury suffered by the "Gypsy King" during sparring.
