Rooney, who has long been vocal about his love of boxing, is being lined up as a possible opponent.
“I have been trying to convince Zlatan, and he is ready to fight,” said Taylor via Sportbible. “He follows Misfits Boxing closely, and he's drawn to the challenge.”
The England legend, who is about to make his Misfits debut, could be Ibrahimovic's biggest rival.
Known for his toughness, Rooney's fighting style would be a stark contrast to Ibrahimovic, whose previous kickboxing experience would give him the edge.
The two football icons share a history. They played together at Manchester United, where they lifted the Europa League, the League Cup, and the Community Shield. Now, their paths may cross again—this time in the boxing ring.
The clash between the Swedish star and the English football star will be a major spectacle, attracting fans from both sports.
The beauty of Ibrahimovic and the power of Rooney could make this match unforgettable as the football giants look to get results in a brand new arena.
