Less than two months after his Birmingham City spell as team manager came to a sudden end, Wayne Rooney could be set for a change of sports.
Reports have confirmed that Rooney, 38, one of England’s greatest ever goal-scorers is contemplating swapping football boots for gloves.
The reports indicate that the former Manchester United and England star is stepping into the ring for a Misfits fight and has held talks about competing in one of their upcoming events.
Kalle Sauerland is the promoter of the series which sees YouTube stars like KSI and Logan Paul compete for big money.
Rooney was sacked as Birmingham City boss last month after just 15 games in charge of an ill-fated reign at St Andrews.
