Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney could face Jake Paul or KSI in the boxing ring.
The former England striker could be set to swap the pitch for the ring later this year after it was revealed he was in talks with Misfit Boxing.
Youtubers turned boxers KSI and Jake Paul are tipped to go toe-to-toe with Rooney if a deal can be agreed.
According to SportsLens exclusive odds, a whole host of famous former footballers have been shortlisted as potential suitors for Rooney.
Phil Bardsley – who has already dropped Rooney – Steven Gerrard, John Terry and even current Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy have made the cut. The Foxes hero would make a very interesting bout.

Who Will Wayne Rooney Fight?
Taking the odds of all the potential boxing opponents for Wayne Rooney, we have outlined the implied probability of those who could fight the Red Devils legend.
The most likely opponent for Wayne Rooney in his Misfits boxing bout is Jake Paul. The 27-year-old social media personality and now pro boxer has won eight of his nine fights. The only blemish came against Tommy Fury in February 2023. KSI has won four of his six bouts since turning to professional boxing. Fury again is the only defeat he suffered. In his fight against Joe Fournier, no contest was awarded after an accidental elbow strike with KSI originally awarded the win. If, and it’s a very big if, a deal could be negotiated to fight either star – the world would surely tune in to see how Rooney would fare in the ring. Much has been made in recent times of the Wagatha Christie spate between Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy. The wife of Jamie Vardy lost the libel case at the English High Court in 2022. However, who would win if the WAGs were to go toe-to-toe? Furthermore, what about the husbands? Add Sportslens to your Google News Feed!
