SINGER Robbie Williams has revealed that he has contacted promoter Eddie Hearn about a sensational fight with Liam Gallagher.
The 90s pop rivals have fought it out in the charts over more than 20 years – but Williams wants to take that battle to the ring.

The former Take That star also revealed that Liam Gallagher has so far shirked his calls.
He said on the Jonathan Ross Show: “I’ve got to inhabit various different things throughout my career.
“Like with Soccer Aid I get to pretend to be a footballer and when I’m on stage I get to pretend I’m a singer. I just want to experience lots of different things.
“I’ve been boxing and I love it and if there’s anybody that I want to box, it’s Liam Gallagher.”
When asked by Ross if there was any beef between the pair, Williams responded: “Well there was in the 90s.
“We hung out in the same sort of circles, I wouldn’t necessarily say we were friends.”
Williams then went on to reveal: “He hasn’t responded, twice. And I’d really like to do it.
“I’ve spoken to Eddie Hearn… Eddie Hearn’s up for it.”
Ross then asked if it would be for charity, to which Williams, with a wide grin on his face replied unequivocally: “No.”
Promoter Hearn was behind the Logan Paul vs KSI rematch in LA earlier this month.
The novelty fight between the warring YouTube stars was widely mocked by boxing aficionados – but was watched in fascination by millions of people worldwide.
And if Williams gets his way, perhaps he and Gallagher could become the latest celebrities to cash in on a career crossover into the ring.
If so, the 45-year-old singer, even if defeated, would surely have no regrets.
