First factor’s first. Rooney vs Bardsley II. It’s obtained to be, proper? I imply the story writes itself. Wazza coming for his revenge after being left battered and bloodied on his kitchen ground, in entrance of his tea cosies. Bardsley searching for the feud-ending second knockout. What’s to not love?
Bards is at present working as Macclesfield’s assistant supervisor, however getting a go away of absence should not be onerous on condition that Robbie ‘loves a scrap’ Savage is his boss.
Which of those 9 fights would you wish to see most? Let us know within the feedback part under.

Tell me you would not need to see this. Goal machine vs objective machine. “Chat s*** get banged” vs “Hi rio do u want picking up in the morning pal”. Wagatha Christie: Husbands’ Revenge.
Granted, Wayne and Jamie have been merely lawyer-paying pawns of their wives’ pathetic litigious squabble, however with Colleen and Rebekah of their respective corners enjoying the Mickey Goldmill (“Get up, Rock”) position, this may be nicely definitely worth the entry charge. Loser buys the WKD Blues.

Rio Ferdinand

This would work for a few causes. One: like Rooney, Rio Ferdinand is into his boxing and tried to make a profession of it in 2017, solely to be denied a boxing licence.
Two: the pair used to get on one another’s nerves throughout Man United video games. Despite being mates, Ferdinand as soon as known as Rooney the “worst team-mate I’ve ever had”, revealing that they used to commerce verbal blows two or 3 times each match. Let them settle it between the ropes, we are saying.
KSI

Who higher to kick your Misfits profession off towards than the founding father of the promotion itself? KSI has confirmed to be surprisingly adept between the ropes for an web persona, albeit by beating different web personalities, however he held his personal towards Tommy Fury in October regardless of developing quick within the contest.
The groundwork has already partially been laid too. KSI revealed in 2022 that Rooney phoned him up suggesting that they battle. “If Wayne Rooney is down… maybe after [I fight] Jake Paul, but we’ll see,” the YouTube icon mentioned. Book it.
John Fury

You know for a truth Big John can be up for this, and he may even go straightforward on Wazza contemplating he is an enormous Man United fan. The Fury patriarch was a bare-knuckle fighter again within the day, and regardless of being retired for years he is clearly nonetheless obtained the urge for food for one more punch-up.
The battle might even happen within the woods. The loser has to hunt, pores and skin and cook dinner the meals they eat by the campfire that night time.
Ricky Hatton

Sticking with former boxers, what about Ricky Hatton? For starters he and Rooney are long-time friends (the United legend has walked Hatton to the ring earlier than), plus the Hitman is combating match after making a sensational boxing comeback in 2022.
The Man Utd vs Man City narrative can be onerous to disregard too. They might battle at Old Trafford, then on the Etihad, and if wanted, have a rubber match on the MEN Arena. Manchester locals can be throughout that!
Tom Brady

Think about it. Rooney out for revenge for getting sacked by Birmingham. Brady out for revenge as a result of hiring Wazza made him appear like a Grade A dumbass.
They might stage the battle at St Andrew’s, or heck, why not within the States? DC United’s floor would do, or possibly Tampa Bay Buccaneers’? Brady won’t be a fighter, however he will need to have a heck of sturdy proper hand on him given his profession as an NFL quarterback. It’d be an honest punch up on the very least.
Cristiano Ronaldo

There’s loads of narrative for this one. Their rivalry at Man United, the notorious wink on the 2006 World Cup, and what about Ronaldo calling Rooney “jealous” and “worse looking” whereas chatting to Piers Morgan in 2022?
Cristiano is in much better form, however Wayne is aware of the right way to throw a correct punch. This may very well be a humdinger. It may very well be staged in Saudi Arabia too, with a capability crowd of a whole lot of not-so-rowdy followers, identical to in most Saudi fights.
Paddy Pimblett

Lastly, why not have a great quaint scrap between two Scousers? Paddy the Baddy might need the sting by way of fight coaching, however Rooney can have a great few kilos on him and with sufficient prep may very well be the Floyd Mayweather to Pimblett’s Conor McGregor if they’d a straight-up boxing match.
And how about this: the loser has to put on the shirt of the opposite bloke’s soccer group for per week. Imagine it, Pimblett in a Man United prime, or Wazza rocking Liverpool shirt. Delicious.
