Rooney to enter the ring?

Wayne Rooney is reportedly in negotiations to potentially fight in a boxing match. 

Sacked as manager of Birmingham recently, the former Manchester United and England striker is potentially lining up a sensational next chapter in the ring - with multiple sources, including ESPN and The Sun, stating that the 38-year-old has held discussions with rapper KSI's Misfits Boxing. 

Founded in 2022, Misfits Boxing organises lucrative boxing match-ups that feature celebrities, which are broadcast on DAZN.

KSI, Logan Paul, Jay Swingler, Ashley and Myles de Rak-Su are among the famous personalties to lace up their gloves in previous Misfits Boxing contests. 

An amateur pugilist in his youth, Rooney was infamously knocked out by fellow footballer Phil Bardsley when the pair were both at Manchester United.
