Manchester United Legend Rio Ferdinand Turns To Boxing by ElTommyBlaq(m): 7:21am On Sep 19, 2017
Former England star Rio Ferdinand is due to
announce on Tuesday he is going to try and
become a professional boxer just two months
away from his 39th birthday , according to the
Daily Telegraph.

Ferdinand, who won 81 caps and made over
300 appearances for Manchester United , is an
avid boxing fan and has admitted spending
time boxing in the gym has helped clear his
head a bit after losing his wife and the mother
of his three children Rebecca Ellison to breast
cancer in 2015 .

Ferdinand, who has become a respected TV
pundit since hanging up his boots in 2015 , is
due to make what has been termed “a major
news announcement” on Tuesday but will need
to convince the British Boxing Board of Control
he merits a licence .

He wouldn ’t be the first footballer to turn to a
career in the ring as former Sheffield United
striker Curtis Woodhouse won the British
light- welterweight title in 2012 .
