Mirror Sport – ‘Let’s get ready to ROOmble’ – Wayne tempted to swap sports
The back page of the Daily Mirror reports Wayne Rooney is considering stepping into the ring for a Misfits fight.
The former Manchester United and England star 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, 38, was sacked as Birmingham City boss last month after just 15 games in charge of an ill-fated reign at St Andrews. Now one of the country’s greatest ever goalscorers is contemplating swapping football boots for gloves.
Rooney is weighing up his options as he waits to see if another managerial job presents itself after his stints with Birmingham, DC United and Derby County. The former United and Everton front man has always been a keen boxing fan and was even a member of an amateur club as a kid in his hometown of Liverpool.
