Zlatan Ibrahimovic in talks with Misfits Boxing?
According to what is reported by The Sun, the Swede is "lined up for a sensational boxing switch after holding secret talks over FaceTime."
Misfits Boxing boss Mams Taylor said the following to Sun Sport:
"I've tried to convince Zlatan and he can fight. I'm good friends with his manager and we had a FaceTime, the three of us."
He continued to talk about Ibrahimovic's potential appearance:
"It was really cool because he's seen a lot of Misfits fights and he's followed it. He was a kickboxer, he'd be a good one as well. But yeah, there's other names that aren't quite as big as these guys that are but still very respected and have achieved a lot that are interested. And because it's so realistic that those guys are going to fight, I'm not gonna give you their names. But, I will say that Zlatan and Wayne Rooney, there've been conversations and I think it's a matter of time. At some point it will materialise."
