Star Sport – ‘ROOkey II’ – Wayne plots move back to boxing
The back page of the Daily Star reports out-of-work Wayne Rooney is pondering a switch to boxing for a one-off bout.
The Manchester United legend and boxing fanatic has held talks about competing on a Misfits show, which sees YouTube stars and influencers like KSI and Logan Paul compete for big purses. The 38-year-old was recently sacked as Birmingham City boss after just 15 games, putting a major dent in his hopes of forging a long career in management.
Rooney is now considering swapping football boots for boxing gloves. The former England ace is assessing his options as he waits to see if another managerial job presents itself after his stints with Birmingham, DC United and Derby County.
