      Jamm was playing for Team Aboflah, which was managed by Antonio Conte and included a bunch of influencers alongside the likes of Claude Makelele, Didier Drogba and Kaka.
      The opposing side, led by UK influencer Chunkz, was managed by Arsene Wenger and included the likes of Eden Hazard, Roberto Carlos and David Villa.
      Jamm did not start the match, but his bodycam footage showed fans exactly what it’s like to play with the legends after he came on.
      His video showed him being called across by Conte to be substituted onto the field, with the former Spurs manager appearing to be a bit unsure of what Jamm’s name was.

      Jamm was given the massive task of marking the recently retired Eden Hazard – who easily skipped around him to create a goal.
      Jamm’s footage also showed a smiling Didier Drogba walking past him to take a corner.
      Despite being skinned by Hazard, Jamm had a decent game while playing at left-back, putting in plenty of blocks.
      He even lost his glasses at one point when clearing the ball with a defensive header.

      A starstruck Jamm replied: “What an honour!”
      Jamm ended up on the losing side in the end, with Team Chunkz taking the win by seven goals to five.
      The four minute video ended with Chunkz and co lifting the trophy specially made for the match.
      The friendly was not without incident however, with American internet personality IShowSpeed launching into a horror tackle on Kaka.
      The YouTuber was shown a yellow for a tackle, but many argued it was a red – it certainly would have been if it was made in the Premier League.
      But for the purposes of the friendly, the ref opted to keep things level at 11v11 – and luckily Kaka was not injured. More

      No opponent has yet been announced but Paul has pledged to donate his purse to his charity foundation Boxing Bullies.
      He said: “The mission keeps on getting bigger and we’re gonna continue to renovate more gyms.
      “I’m actually going to be donating my entire fight purse to Boxing Bullies to renovate more gyms in Puerto Rico.”
      His business partner Nakisa Bidarian: “I just wanna repeat that right. He’s donating his entire purse to renovate gyms in Puerto Rico.”

      Paul – who lives in a £13million mansion in Puerto Rico – in 2021 launched his charity in a bid to introduce boxing to a younger generation.
      And he revealed the next gym he renovates will be dedicated to boxing legend and seven-division champ Serrano.
      He said: “I don’t know if we can sneak preview that one of the gyms is going to be an Amanda Serrano gym.”
      Paul, 27, last February suffered the first defeat of his boxing career, losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury, 24, in Saudi Arabia.

      But he bounced back with a points victory over ex-UFC star Nate Diaz, 38, and a first-round knockout against Andre August.
      August, 35, was the first boxer that Paul has defeated on his record and came into the bout in December with a 10-1-1 record.
      But his next opponent is said to have a better ring resume with title belts to his name.
      Paul said: “He’s a professional boxer with an even better record that Andre August and there will be an announcement coming soon.
      “But again, it’s another step up in competition, he’s won regional titles etc.
      “Announcement will be coming soon but another step up in competition and continuing to challenge myself March 2nd.”
      Bidarian added that Paul’s next opponent will be confirmed and announced on January 30.

      As part of his interview with P1, he revealed that he is a lifelong Liverpool fan and regrets never being able to manage them professionally.
      That caused Liverpool fans to launch a petition for Sven to manage the Reds in an upcoming charity match in March.
      The game will see Liverpool legends take on Ajax legends, and he was asked about the offer on Good Morning Britain today.
      Asked if he was aware of the petition, he said: “No, I didn’t know about that. I knew that I had a charity game in March, I think it is, and me and my son are invited to see that game and that might be great.

      “There will be a lot of good football players there, but I should be their manager? No, I never heard that, I don’t know where that’s come from.
      GMB host Susanna Reid then asked if he would accept the role and he said: “I would accept, of course.
      “To coach Liverpool, that would be my dream. That’s always been my dream but I’m not complaining, I had a lot of good football teams, national teams and clubs so I’m happy.”
      Some of Eriksson’s former club teams include Lazio, Benfica, Manchester City and Leicester.

      He led England for the 2002 and 2006 World Cup as well as Euro 2004.
      Eriksson has revealed that he want to live the rest of his life positively and lead an “as normal” life as possible despite his terminal diagnosis.
      He explained: “I have a lot of friends here in Sweden, of course, they’re coming to visit me.
      “I go out, having a coffee with them, a lunch with them, things like that. I try to be normal. I’m travelling a little bit less than I did before, but I’m still travelling.
      “I hope to come to England maybe to see England Brazil in March, that could be a game in the final of the World Cup but it is a friendly. We’ll see but I’m not complaining and I refuse to sit down and cry, feeling sorry about myself.” More
