Former Man United star Wayne Rooney 'holds talks with Misfits Boxing about big-money fight with KSI's promotion in shock move away from football after his sacking as Birmingham boss in January'

Wayne Rooney is reportedly in talks with KSI's Misfits Boxing brand over taking part in a big-money fight.

The ex-Manchester United forward is mulling over pulling on his gloves for a one-off bout.

Rooney has been out of work since he was sacked by Birmingham City on January 2 after just 15 games in charge and a run of dismal form.

And he could be set for another bruising encounter, this time of a more literal variety, as reported by the Daily Star and the Daily Mirror.
