      But SunSport can reveal Wazza has been training for his boxing debut for several MONTHS.
      Our source said: “Wayne has a boxing [heavy] bag at his home and is on it most days.
      “Since retiring from football, boxing training has been the way he’s kept himself in shape.
      “He’s really stepped things up over the last few months, and even more so since he left his job at Birmingham because he has a bit more time on his hands.

      “The idea of boxing for real, and arranging a fight, has always been an ambition of Wayne’s, but now he is really keen to make it happen.
      “Coleen is naturally worried. She doesn’t want to see Wayne get hurt, and part of her wishes he would just stick to the gym work.
      “But, at the same time, she’s proud of the way he has focused on it and thrown his heart and soul into the training.
      “So, if he does go through with it, she’ll definitely support him.

      Our story comes a day after it emerged Rooney had held talks about stepping into the boxing ring for a high-profile bout via the Misfits series.
      The controversial promotion sees YouTube stars like KSI and Logan Paul compete for big money.
      And now, former Manchester United star Rooney – who was sacked as Birmingham City boss last month after just 15 games in charge – is being lined up.
      It wouldn’t be the first time Rooney has pulled on boxing gloves.
      He infamously held an impromptu bout in his own kitchen nine years ago and was KNOCKED OUT by former Red Devils team-mate Phil Bardsley before mimicking the fall in a subsequent United goal celebration.
      Rooney has been 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 frontman has always been a keen boxing fan and was even a member of an amateur club as a kid in his home city of Liverpool.
      He once walked out with Ricky Hatton for the Manchester fighter’s clash with Jose Luis Castillo in Las Vegas and he has been ringside for other major fights.

      He once messaged Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn and jokingly asked him to set up a fight.
      But a Misfits contest is now seen as a serious option for the retired footballer, with talks having taken place in recent weeks.
      Misfits isn’t governed by the British Boxing Board of Control so Rooney would not be competing in a professional contest.
      The events, which are broadcast on DAZN, have a mix of social-media celebrities of various fame and notoriety.
      The over-hyped promotions have often sparked controversy with ugly scenes at press conferences and weigh-ins.
      Many in the boxing world have called for the sport to distance itself from them.
      Rooney’s discussions with the promotion are still in their infancy, but it’s clear Misfits would have to dangle a mouthwatering sum to lure him.

      Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk could be overshadowed by Wayne Rooney as details of Man Utd icon’s fight offer emerge

      by

      WAYNE ROONEY’S proposed boxing debut could compete with Tyson Fury versus Oleksandr Usyk – if all goes to plan. The Mirror, were the first to report that Rooney was in shock talks with Misfits Boxing for a stunning celebrity-style fight.

      Misfits – co-founded by YouTuber-turned prizefighter KSI – hosts crossover bouts between stars of the social media, MMA and boxing world.
      And SunSport understands Misfits initiated talks with Rooney and a proposal has been with the Manchester United legend for a few weeks.
      No opponent is believed to have been discussed but the timeframe in which to get the England icon in the ring has.
      Interestingly, the plan in place would be to have Rooney fight around May.

      But that would be the same month that Fury and Usyk are set to contest for the undisputed heavyweight crown in Saudi Arabia.
      The superstar pair had to reschedule from February 17 to May 18 after Fury sustained a horror cut in sparring.
      But Misfits and broadcast partner DAZN are on the search for new pay-per-view headliners having so far relied on KSI.
      The British internet sensation, 30, has headlined three PPV events, most recently against Tommy Fury, 24, last October.

      But KSI has also admitted he does not know how much longer he will continue boxing for.
      Sir Alex Ferguson lost it with Wayne Rooney ’20 times a season’ for breaking legendary Man Utd boss’ tactical rule
      It has left his manager and business partner Mams Taylor on the scout for PPV stars outside of just KSI.
      And Taylor previously told SunSport that he is in talks with footballers to make the switch over to boxing.
      He said in December 2022: “I’ve got a couple footballers in mind that I won’t name because it’s actually very possible.”
      Rooney, infamously knocked out in his kitchen by Phil Bardsley, retired in 2021 and went into coaching.
      But he was sacked in the new year by Birmingham and is currently without a job.

      Anthony Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn revealed how Rooney has reached out to him about fighting in the past.
      And Hearn even talked up a return to Old Trafford to face Jake Paul.
      KSI himself has also been contacted by Rooney, who wanted to set up a fight with the celebrity.

      He said: “It’s funny – I hope he doesn’t get annoyed that I said this – but Wayne Rooney hit me up being like, ‘Oh, we should fight.’
      “And I said no. I just don’t want to do that. If Wayne Rooney is down, of course I think it would be good to have him in this space.”

      Inside Wayne Rooney’s boxing switch that is FIVE YEARS in making with both Jake Paul and KSI in Man Utd icon’s sights

      by

      WAYNE ROONEY’S plan to make a boxing switch might come as a shock to many – but it may just have been in the works for years. The Manchester United legend is an avid fan of the noble art and even trained as a schoolboy at an amateur club in Liverpool.

      But he chose football over boxing and went onto become one of England’s most talented players.
      Rooney retired from playing in 2021 and has moved into coaching – but it appears as though he has a masterplan to make a move into boxing.
      According to the Mirror, the Three Lions icon has held preliminary talks with Misfits Boxing.
      Misfits – founded by YouTuber-turned boxer KSI – homes to celebrity-style crossover bouts aired on streaming service DAZN.

      It has seen stars of the social media, MMA and boxing world all compete in big-money events.
      And KSI once revealed Rooney actually reached out to him personally to try and discuss a fight between them.
      He said last January: “It’s funny – I hope he doesn’t get annoyed that I said this – but Wayne Rooney hit me up being like, ‘Oh, we should fight.’
      “And I said no. I just don’t want to do that. If Wayne Rooney is down, of course I think it would be good to have him in this space.”

      “Wayne would love to do a charity fight. All these guys, they love boxing.”
      And Hearn has even had messages from Rooney and talked up the former Birmingham boss returning to Old Trafford to fight Jake Paul.
      He told Rio Ferdinand last year: “I’ve actually spoke to Wayne a few times about the Jake Paul fight.
      “Normally, if he has a couple of glasses of red he’ll fire in a message to me at night going, ‘Listen, I wanna fight that geezer.’
      “Wayne can fight, he had a couple of amateur fights – but him against Jake Paul at Old Trafford, that’s actually a makeable fight.”
      Rooney, infamously knocked out in his kitchen by friend Phil Bardsley, has been out of work since being sacked by Birmingham in January. More

      Seven possible opponents for Wayne Rooney including KSI and ‘animal’ former team-mate as talks revealed over shock fight

      by

      WAYNE ROONEY is in talks over a sensational boxing match – and there are plenty of potential opponents for the footie icon’s debut.The Manchester United legend has held preliminary talks with influencer boxing promotion Misfits – which is not governed by the British Boxing Board of Control – about a foray into the squared circle.

      An agreement, according to The Mirror, for Roo to take to the ring has yet to be reached – despite talks beginning a few weeks back.
      News of Rooney – who was part of an amateur boxing club when he was a kid – potentially fighting under the Misfits banner has stunned footie and boxing fans alike.
      And attention has quickly turned to who the former England captain could face in his debut.
      So with that in mind, SunSport is on hand with the seven top contenders to throw down with the former Birmingham City boss.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Jake Paul
      A dust-up against YouTuber turned boxer Paul was touted last year by Matchroom Boxing chief Eddie Hearn, who revealed Roo often messages him about fighting.
      Problem Child Paul would likely entertain the prospect of fighting Rooney due to his huge name and the pay-per-view buys he would generate.
      But the fact he would have to do so on bitter rival KSI’s promotion makes the fight somewhat unlikely.

      KSI
      Brit social media sensation KSI is the kingpin on Misfits along with pal Mams Taylor and no doubt will have been at the centre of the recent Rooney talks.

      But the Youtube phenom claimed in December 2022 that the prospect of throwing down with the Premier League icon doesn’t whet his appetite.
      He said: “I don’t know, if Wayne Rooney is down of course I think it would be good to have him in the [influencer boxing] space.”

      Wayne Bridge
      Former Chelsea and England defender Bridge is no stranger to the boxing world having dipped his toes into it in 2018.
      Bridge locked horns with former Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, whom he almost knocked out in their Sports Relief clash.
      He’s even been dubbed an “animal” by former Fulham midfielder and podcaster Steve Sidwell.
      So the former full-back would be a suitable opponent for Rooney should he be keen to lace ’em up again.

      Phil Bardsley
      Rooney’s former Manchester United team-mate is perhaps the man footie fans most want to see throw down with the 38-year-old.
      Bardsley knocked Rooney OUT COLD during what initially appeared to be a playful kitchen dust-up back in 2015.
      Footage of the incident exclusively obtained by The Sun – which Rooney mocked with his famous celebration against Tottenham – went viral.
      So it’d only make sense for Roo to want to exact his revenge on his old team-mate inside the ring.

      Jamie Vardy
      Leicester City legend Vardy is no stranger to a playful sparring session having had one with team-mate Wilfried Ndidi in 2020.
      The former England hitman dropped Ndidi with a swift left uppercut to the body, much to the amusement of his team-mates.
      It’s unknown, however, if Vardy fancies his chances in the ring.

      Tyson Fury
      Competing under the Misfits banner isn’t in the WBC heavyweight champion’s five-fight plan, although he did take part in a shock crossover bout with former UFC champ Francis Ngannou last October.
      So, however unlikely the prospect of the pair sharing the ring is, it’s not entirely beyond the realms of possibility – especially considering Fury claimed he’d let Roo prepare him for Oleksandr Usyk.
      He said in December 2022: “I spoke to Wayne and he’s well up for it. We’re going to bring Wayne in for preparation for Oleksandr Usyk.
      “No [it’s not a joke], very serious. He’s going to come into camp for about four weeks to help me.”
      WBC heavyweight champ Tyson Fury claimed Wayne Rooney would him prepare for his clash with Oklesandr UsykCredit: GETTY
      Rio Ferdinand
      Roo’s former Manchester United and England team-mate revealed in late 2017 that he wanted to test himself in the ring professionally.
      The BBBOC, however, nipped his ambitions in the bud in May 2018 when they informed him that they WOULDN’T review his application to compete as a pro.
      READ MORE SUN STORIES
      But he could, should he want to, very well lace them up under the Misfits banner as they’re not sanctioned by the BBBOC.
      And there would be no bigger opponent – name-wise – available for him to fight other than his good friend Rooney.

      Jake Paul ‘BLOCKED from fighting MMA star by UFC’ after claims YouTube star ‘doesn’t make money’

      YouTuber-turned boxer Paul was quick to hit out at the former UFC middleweight champion Strickland.
      He posted on X, formerly Twitter: “You’re embarrassing for trying to stop Sneako like that you weren’t even able to drop someone with no experience while going all out.
      “You’re a horrid boxer that only picks on inexperienced people.. I’ll fly you to (Puerto Rico) and we can fight on camera… if you win I’ll give you $1 million (half your net worth).
      “But if you get dropped you have to get Betr tattooed on you.”

      Strickland accepted the offer and a back and forth online ensued between the pair.
      But the American then took to his own YouTube channel to say UFC chief Hunter Campbell was against the idea and aimed a dig at Paul.
      Strickland said: “I will fight this man. You let Conor McGregor fight (Floyd) Mayweather, this is an easier fight, easier money, can I do that?
      “And then Hunter explained to me that [Paul] sells no fights. When they have fights, they give away tickets. He doesn’t make money.

      “So, I dunno man, get some adults to follow you and we will fight.”
      Strickland has gained a reputation for ruthless sparring sessions and has even bragged about wanting to “KILL” opponents in the cage.
      And despite pouring cold water on a prizefight with Paul, he challenged him to what appeared to be a brawl on the Las Vegas strip.

      Strickland said: “So here’s the thing, Jake Paul, you clearly know I can’t fight you.
      “You know this. The UFC knows this. We all know this, that you and me cannot fight.
      “But what we can do, is you can get in your fancy plane, you can fly your ass to Vegas, and we can have a little pow-wow.

      Who is Ryan Bourland?

      On Saturday, March 2 I will shock the world and put an end to Jake Paul’s boxing careerRyan Bourland
      Bourland, who is an ex-Golden Gloves champion and junior Olympics boxer, hung up his gloves and swapped the sport for work on the oil rigs in 2018.
      Discussing his boxing career, Bourland said: ”Boxing is not easy.
      ”Taking punches isn’t the most fun thing to do, and I’ve been doing it for a long time, but I’m not making that much money.

      ”I haven’t had health insurance for a while.”
      On working on the oil rigs, Bourland said: “It’s dangerous and hard work, but boxing is dangerous and is really hard work.
      “After they saw my resume, I got a couple of calls, and they told me ‘You are exactly what we are looking for.’
      “My dad told me, ‘You’re crazy. You know how cold it is up there?’
      Most read in Boxing
      “So I went out and bought a bunch of thermals and stuff like that, so hopefully I will be prepared.
      “I got a call about fighting for a belt in Las Vegas, but it’s only for about $10,000.
      “By the time I pay my team and train for two months, it’s not that much.”
      What is Ryan Bourland’s boxing record?
      Jake Paul’s cruiserweight opponent Ryan Bourland boasts a 17-2 record – with six wins coming by way of knockout.
      Prior to his upcoming bout against Paul, Bourland faced Santario Martin in September 2022 – and won by knockout.

      Paul’s last bout saw him leave victorious, after knocking out cruiserweight boxer Andre August in the first round back in December 2023.

      Bourland will be Paul’s third meeting with a pro boxer – and his second in a row.

      In his fight announcement, Paul said: “The goal is simple, build the skillset to become world champion.
      “Next up is a guy who has twice as many professional fights under his belt than I do. Ryan “The Rhino” Bourland.
      “And just like the animal in his bone-chilling nickname… he is also endangered.”
      Meanwhile, Bourland said: “Jake Paul steps into the ring with his social media clout, but let’s not mistake followers for experience or skill.
