Zlatan Ibrahimovic lined up for sensational boxing career! AC Milan legend could join 'whole Premier League card' as promoter speaks out

The AC Milan legend has taken on an advisory role at San Siro since hanging up his boots, but could also step into the ring after being tipped to strike a deal with Misfits Boxing - founded and led by YouTube and TV star KSI.

Former Manchester United striker Ibrahimovic would be part of a 'whole Premier League card' as KSI looks to continue to grow his influencer boxing company. Ex-Leicester star Danny Simpson has already had his first fight and former England international Wayne Bridge was close to fighting KSI himself before pulling out.

Speaking to SunSport, promoter Mams Taylor - who is friends with Zlatan's agent - said of the potential collaboration: "I've got so many footballers - that I'm not gonna name - but I've got so many footballers that want to do this. I could do a whole Premier League card at this point, which I think could be quite fun. But we'll see, there's a lot of footballers and international footballers as well. So let's see, but I'm still chipping away at Zlatan, I want Zlatan. I'm determined to get him in that ring."

Reports from The Sun say Phil Bardsley is in talks to make his boxing debut, and Taylor, KSI and Misfits will also hope to get Ibrahimovic to sign on the dotted line and set up what could be one of the biggest crossover events in history.
