      MISFITS BOXING are in talks with FIVE footballers to make a switch to the ring – with Wayne Rooney still expected to be one of them.

KSI is the co-founder of Misfits BoxingCredit: GettyWayne Rooney was in talks with Misfits for a shock boxing switchCredit: AlamyAnd they have already welcomed stars from the social media, music and entertainment world. But perhaps their most ambitious plan was to try to bring Manchester United legend Rooney over for a shock bout. Talks were developing until the ex-England captain publicly ruled it out – for now – to focus on his managerial career. But Taylor – a former music mogul and now boxing promoter – is still quietly confident he can convince Rooney into the stunning switch.

But the former Everton forward is not the only one to be secretly contemplating swapping the pitch for punches. Taylor added ahead of Misfits 13 in Nashville: “We’ve got four or five footballers we’re talking to currently. So let’s see how that materialises.”KSI with manager and Misfits co-founder Mams Taylor More

      Conor McGregor sensationally opens door to fighting ‘NERDS’ Jake Paul, KSI and Tommy Fury and picks his top choice

      by

      CONOR McGREGOR has sensationally opened the door to fighting Jake Paul, KSI and Tommy Fury – calling the trio “NERDS.” McGregor has been called out by all three celebrity boxing stars but the UFC legend has always distanced himself from the crossover bouts. Conor McGregor opened the door to fighting Jake Paul, KSI and Tommy FuryCredit: SplashBut now it appears he has had a change of heart when probed on a move back to boxing and picked KSI as the best of the bunch to fight. He told SneekPeakTV: “Yeah you know, the YouTube nerds could be like, I would consider that a nixer. “Your Uncle’s friend needs a f****** radiator fitted in his house, so you’ll do a side job, and get side pay.“I would consider them guys to be nixers. If I was to pick one out of them, I would say KSI, he has a big name in the U.K.”READ MORE IN UFCThe term “nixer” is Irish slang for a side job. And McGregor in 2017 put aside his MMA career to cross over to boxing to face American icon Floyd Mayweather, losing in ten rounds. But due to his current UFC contract – which has two bouts remaining on it – the Irishman is prohibited from another boxing switch. Although that has not stopped Paul – who returns against 57-year-old Mike Tyson on July 20 – from continuing to call McGregor out.

You know, we’ll go through all of these guys.“Fury called me out yesterday, and he beat Jake and he fought KSI so it’s just like another little world isn’t it?”McGregor is yet to fight since July 2021, when he broke his leg in the opening rounds of his fight with Dustin Poirier, 35. But he remains linked with a return against Michael Chandler, 37, despite growing frustrated as talks drag. And now McGregor has further teased another go at boxing as he concluded: “I’m open to it.
