Rio Ferdinand to become professional boxer

[Curly]

If he comes to the ring like this I promise to watch

 

Worra guy.

[Bjornebye]

I see he's taking the tragic death of his wife well.

 

 

Not really relevant at all that post is it? 

[Curly]

Fucking hell

[Harry Squatter]

At least he will be off the pundit work anyway.

[Kidder Bukowski]

I can understand him wanting to fight but just do what everybody else does and fight people at your own level in the gymn.

 

It's all about money!

[General Dryness]

I hope he turns out to be a robot and his opponent punches his head off and lashes it into the crowd.

That's raving bonkers.

[KevieG]

The guy used to shit out of challenges on corners. Don't see the boxing working out.

[Josef Svejk]

He should fight in his legendary denim hotpants.

[General Dryness]

That's raving bonkers.

 

Hey, thats how Rocky IV ends, at least thats what Tony told me.

[El Rojo]

Hey, thats how Rocky IV ends, at least thats what Tony told me.

Fake news! Sad!

he'll probably fight some bum with 25 defeats in a 4 round fight, part of a sky box office 'judgment night', win on decision but retire straight afterwards undefeated and bring out a book called 'Hitman'

Cant wait . 

[Bjornebye]

I'll be honest, I don't dislike the fella. Not since seeing that documentary he did about coping after his wife passed away. All he ever really did wrong was play for the mancs and release that god awful prank programme on youtube. Absolute rolls royce of a CB in his day and comes across as a down to earth decent fella away from the pitch. Fair play to him just hope he doesn't do any damage to himself what with him being a sole parent and stuff. 

 

I wont be watching though. Flintoffs fight was embarrassing. He just slapped the fella for 4 rounds.

So he'll be fighting Audley Harrison.

[Jairzinho]

Hope he gets beat.

[magicrat]

Ferdinand is OK and has had a lot to deal with with his wife's death. That said why he has to fuck about being some old show pony in a boxing ring escapes me, The fella must be absolutely caked and if he needs something to occupy himself why doesn't he throw himself into into charity work and help people .Don't behave like some attention seeking tool that can't deal with the fact he's is no longer in the public eye every day. You've had a damn sight more than your fifteen minutes of fame so now please fuck off.

Or Jab Jab Binks

i hope this bird shits in his mouth next time the wonky lipped fucker.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

More significantly it shows just what boxing has become. It used to be a genuine path for young people to follow for a career in sport, Anthony Joshua is an example of that. But it just seems to be becoming a celebrity playground to make lots of money for a nights fighting.

The biggest fight of the year was a retired boxer against a non-boxer.

 

That's all anyone needs to know.

[Colt Seavers]

Boxing had a chance to redeem itself last Saturday with GGG v Canello and failed (not the fight or even the result that one card) and now this!

The only way this ends well is Ferdinand v Bellew
